SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Housing; Uniform Statewide Building Code; exceptions, provisions, and modifications; local disaster resilience measures. Clarifies that the Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) does not supersede (i) local flood plan regulations adopted as a condition of participation in the Community Rating System and (ii) measures adopted by local ordinance to make buildings resilient to foreseeable harm from recurrent flooding, coastal storms, sea level rise, and other similar threats to the health, safety, and general welfare of the locality and its residents. The bill also adds resilience and hazard risk reduction to the recognized standards that should be consistent with the USBC's provisions and modifications.
