A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO THE STATE BUILDING CODE COUNCIL.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the state building code council is authorized to review the national codes and standards and adopt the suite of building codes for the State of Hawaii. The eleven-member council is composed of experts representing designers, contractors, industry, county building and fire officials, and other state regulatory code officials. The codes include the building, residential, plumbing, electrical, energy and elevator codes. Any state amendment to any of the national building codes and standards, which include the fire, plumbing, electrical, elevator, building, and residential codes, requires the unanimous agreement of the four county building officials.
The purpose of this Act is to delete the requirement for a unanimous agreement by the four county building officials to any proposed state building code amendment.
SECTION 2. Section 107-24, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) The council shall appoint a subcommittee
comprising the four council members representing county building officials,
whose duty shall be to recommend any necessary or desirable state amendments to
the codes and standards identified in section 107-25. [Any recommended state amendments shall
require the unanimous agreement of the subcommittee.]"
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
