The bill, titled "An Act Relating to County and Local Government," introduces prohibitions against the adoption or enforcement of building codes that mandate the installation of certain latent, non-operable features in residential structures. It defines "latent features" as any technology or item installed in a residential structure that will not be actively used or operational at the time of completion, and clarifies that these features do not contribute to the safety or structural integrity of the building. The bill explicitly states that no municipality or county governing body, or any agency thereof, may adopt or enforce any ordinance or building code that requires such installations.

The bill will take effect on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor. The legal language inserted into the current law includes the definitions of "latent feature" and "residential structure," as well as the prohibition against enforcing codes that require latent features. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided.
