Summary

County Fire Warden Alexander Larsen told commissioners that HB41 adjusted HB48 changes and that Utah will adopt the 2024 International Wildland Urban Interface Code to replace the 2006 edition; enforcement is not required until Jan. 1, 2027.

Alexander Larsen, Kane County Fire Warden, briefed the commission on recent state legislation affecting wildfire safety and building-code standards. Larsen said the legislature adjusted HB48 through HB41 and that “Utah will adopt the 2024 edition of the International Wildland Urban Interface Code, replacing the outdated 2006 edition,” with an enforcement date that “is not required until January 1st, 2027.”

Larsen outlined four main points of impact for counties and said the delayed enforcement date gives local jurisdictions time to align permitting and enforcement practices. The discussion was informational; no immediate county ordinance change or action was adopted at the May 12 meeting.
