NAHB Leaders Push for More Favorable Codes
From NAHB
NAHB Chair Randy Noel reinforced NAHB’s codes priorities at the International Code Council’s(ICC’s) Board of Directors meeting Oct. 20 in Richmond, Va.
Specifically, he addressed members’ concerns with the federal cost share incentive that is part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.
This act includes incentives that may increase the federal cost share for states within disaster areas. It has a provision encouraging states to adopt the “latest published editions” of relevant building codes that incorporate the “latest hazards-resistant designs.”
