Individual Achievement.
On March 8th 2005, the Coordinating Council
unanimously voted to recommend to the CBSC that they rescind the their decision
to select the NFPA 5000, NFPA 1 and the structural provisions of the IRC for
housing as the Building and Fire Codes for California.
UP DATE:
March 16, 2005 the CBSC voted 8-2 to rescind their previous action to adopt the
NFPA codes. State Agencies are now free to move forward with their amendments to
the ICC family of codes. The anticipated adoption of new codes for California is
late 2007 or 2008.
The Little Hoover Commission appointed by the Governor to
review state agencies, boards and commissions elected not to eliminate CBSC or
the CSLB which may have had serious consequences for CALBO.
