State Adoptions

The State Legislature updates the state building code which includes the IBC, IRC, IECC and IEBC. Effective August 28, 2021, the new state building code law says that if a local jurisdiction fails to adopt a construction code that at least “conforms generally with the state building code,” the state building code applies to that jurisdiction.
