The 2021 code change submission process marked the beginning of the code development process for the 2024 I-Codes. This process takes place every three years and is open, transparent, and inclusive. All interested parties are encouraged to participate by submitting a code change proposal, testifying at the code hearings, or applying for a position with a Code Development Committee. Here's a recap of our 2021 codes and standards development activity.
The 2021 Committee Action Hearings had the largest participation ever and we heard overwhelmingly positive feedback from all involved.
