Set in Stone California signs Uniform Codes into law

摘要

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed legislation permanently establishing the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials' model codes as the basis for the development of the California Buildings Standards Code.rnIntroduced by State Sen. Ron Calderon (D-Montebello), Senate Bill 1473 sought to clarify who has the authority to develop building standards, including "green" building standards, for particular types of buildings, and includes intent that the measure will not affect the ability of local governments to adopt changes to the building code.
