The resolution proposes an interim study to examine the differences in applicability between residential and commercial building codes, particularly in relation to the implications of enacting LB1227. The study aims to coordinate with the Department of Water, Energy, and Environment to refine energy impact studies and assess the return on investment for specific residential building codes. Additionally, it seeks to identify a reliable source for evaluating the return on investment for commercial building codes.
The Urban Affairs Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is designated to conduct this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the insights gained from the study can inform future legislative decisions regarding building codes.
