The bill amends Section 23-27.3-100.1.5.4 of the General Laws in Chapter 23-27.3, which pertains to the State Building Code, by establishing a moratorium on changes to the state energy conservation code based on the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) until January 1, 2030. During this moratorium, the state building code standards committee shall not adopt, and the state building office shall not enforce, any changes to the state energy conservation code that deviate from the 2024 IECC, unless otherwise approved by the General Assembly and made effective by the governor. The bill requires that the state energy conservation code must be adopted within three months of the release of the 2024 IECC. The act will take effect upon passage.
