House Bill No. 2085, introduced by Blair, amends several sections of the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission Act to modify its applicability, membership requirements, powers, and duties. Key changes include the expansion of the Commission's authority to establish continuing education and training processes for construction industry personnel, as well as the introduction of a workforce development process aimed at increasing the number of available code officials in Oklahoma. The bill also updates the membership structure of the Commission, reducing the required years of experience for certain members from fifteen to ten years, and clarifying the roles of appointed members.

Additionally, the bill modifies the fee structure associated with construction permits, allowing the Commission to establish a system of fees for the issuance and renewal of permits while ensuring that these fees are reported and remitted appropriately. The effective date for the implementation of these changes is set for November 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the regulatory framework governing building codes and standards in Oklahoma, ensuring that they remain relevant and effective in promoting safety and compliance in construction practices.
