The bill amends the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission Act by enhancing the powers and responsibilities of the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission. It requires the Commission to adopt clear guidelines to ensure consistent application of Internal Residential Code standards specifically for small multifamily buildings across the state. Additionally, the bill defines dwelling units and establishes that any building with two to four dwelling units will be classified as a residential structure subject to Internal Residential Code provisions.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for the Commission to maintain an official website listing all adopted building codes and any codes from state agencies or municipalities that have higher standards than those established by the Commission. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026.
