Permanent Rulemaking Hearing held on October 8, 2019

Proposed Changes with Statement of Basis, Purpose, and Authority

Basis and Purpose:  

The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is recommending amendments to rules to:
1.	Be consistent with House Bill 19-1238 by making it clear that the state certification program for factory-built structures does not apply to those that are manufactured or sold for transportation to and installation in another state, and any substantial alternation or repair made to the construction of the structure (both residential and nonresidential) already certified by the Division of Housing onsite is under the jurisdiction of the local building department; 
2.	Establish which building codes are safety codes; 
3.	Adopt three important appendices from the International Residential Code; and 
4.	Clean up/clarify rules that were adopted on May 8, 2018, that have been brought to the attention of the TAC as being unclear or missing information or have incorrect code references. 

Statement of Authority:  

Pursuant to sections 24-32-707(1)(g), 24-32-3301(2), 24-32-3301(3), 24-32-3303(1)(d), 24-32-3304(1)(d), 24-32-3304(1)(e), 24-32-3305, 24-32-3306(1), 24-32-3309(1)(a), 24-32-3317(2), 24-32-3317(5)(a), 24-32-3317(8), and 24-32-3317(10), C.R.S.
