The proposed Bill No. 6618 aims to amend chapter 541 of the general statutes by requiring the Office of the State Building Inspector and the Codes and Standards Committee to develop a state-wide building code that includes more stringent energy-efficiency requirements than those currently outlined in the State Building Code. This new code would be available for adoption by towns, cities, or boroughs. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of public and stakeholder input during the development process of this state-wide building code.

The bill introduces new legal language that mandates the creation of this enhanced building code and the consideration of community feedback, while there are no deletions from the current law specified in the text. The overall goal of the legislation is to promote energy efficiency in building practices across the state, thereby potentially reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
