PresentationDiscussion

1:44 → 9:59(8m 16s)

Assemblymember Schultz introduced AB 306, which would require the California Building Standards Commission to hear and decide appeals about local implementation of the state building code and to issue statewide code interpretations. Architect Mike Malinowski (AIACalifornia) and Ally Saberman (Housing Action Coalition) testified in support, citing inconsistent local interpretations across 540 jurisdictions and the impacts on housing innovation and costs. Supporters asked committee to accept amendments described in the bill analysis.
