State Historical Building Code . The State Historical
Building Safety Board within the Division of the State
Architect may propose for adoption by the California
Building Standards Commission alternative building
standards for qualified historical buildings or structures,
known as the State Historical Building Code.
AB 1731 amends the State Historical Building Code act to:
1. Uniformly reference "qualified historical buildings or
structures," which is a defined term.
2. Provide that any local agency that enforces building
codes, in addition to the building department, shall
apply the alternative standards of the code.
3. Apply the act to structures under construction at
historical locations or sites.
4. Make other non-substantive, technical changes.
Comments
Omnibus bill . SB 305 is intended to make non-controversial
changes to the codes relating to housing and community
development. According to the Legislative Analyst, the
cost of producing a bill in 2001-02 was $17,890. By
combining multiple matters into one bill, the Legislature
can make non-controversial amendments in the most
cost-effective manner.
