The bill amends the Stille-DeRossett-Hale Single State Construction Code Act by updating Section 4, which outlines the responsibilities of the director in preparing and promulgating the state construction code. Key changes include the requirement for the code to consist of the International Residential Code and the director's authority to adopt parts of this code by reference. Additionally, the bill mandates the establishment of an advisory committee to assist in reviewing and recommending changes to the code, ensuring that it aligns with the latest standards and practices in construction.

Significant insertions include the specification of the advisory committee's composition, which includes various professionals such as licensed contractors, architects, and representatives from fire services and labor unions. The bill also emphasizes the need for public transparency by requiring that advisory committee meetings be publicly accessible and that notices be posted in advance. Furthermore, it establishes a process for the director to consider recommendations from the advisory committee and outlines the frequency of updates to the Michigan building codes, ensuring they remain current with national standards.
