Major Jurisdiction Committee issues call for candidates, new members for 2021 meeting in Pittsburgh

The Major Jurisdiction Committee finds information on some of the best practices utilized in the United States and nations abroad concerning department administration, code enforcement and the role of the code official. In addition to best practices, information is constantly gathered on such diverse topics as staffing, salaries, building condemnations, community redevelopment and emerging trends.

The Major Jurisdiction Committee is the premiere contact portal for federal, state and major jurisdictions and is a representative example of the synergetic power that code officials working together can generate for the benefit of all our communities. As always, the committee has a rolling call for committee candidates and those interested should apply here.

The Major Jurisdiction Committee is open to any of the following:

• representatives of state enforcement agencies
• members representing the capital cities of each state
• members from the two largest jurisdictions from each state (in addition to capital cities) the capital city of a country
• member representatives from communities with a population of 500,000 or more

We encourage all those eligible to join the Major Jurisdiction Committee and for everyone to participate in its initiatives and contribute their best practices, experiences and opinions. The committee meets twice a year prior to the International Code Council Committee Action Hearings and during the Code Council’s Annual Conference. The Steering Committee hosts monthly conference calls that are open to the public.

The Major Jurisdiction Committee will host its annual business meeting from 3:15 to 5:15 p.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 20, 2021, during the Code Council’s Annual Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
