File Number: 19-521 The State Building Standards Commission (CBSC) publishes triennial editions of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24, also known as the California Building Standards Code (The Code). Last July 1, 2019, the CBSC published the 2019 edition of the California Building Standards Code. The Building Standards Commission then “publishes” the codes as further amended. Cities have 180 days from the official “publication date” to amend the state codes or adopt the codes without amendments. Failure of a city to adopt or amend the state codes results in automatic adoption of the Codes as the minimum on January 1, 2020. The 2019 Code will apply to any building or structure for which application for a building permit is made on or after January 1, 2020. The California Building Code, Residential Code and Existing Building Code are based on the 2018 model codes published by the International Code Council, while the Mechanical and Plumbing Codes are based on the 2018 Uniform model codes published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials. The Electrical Code is based on the 2017 National Electrical Code, published by the National Fire Protection Association. Building Energy Efficiency Standards are developed and published by the California Energy Commission. The Fire Code is based on the 2019 California Fire Code , published by the International Code Council . ANALYSIS All cities and counties must enforce model codes as revised and published by the State. These codes are generally revised every three years by the organizations that create the model codes. These codes are then reviewed and amended by the State, and pursuant to Health and Safety Code §18941.5, local jurisdictions are mandated to adopt such state codes, generally within 180 days after publication by the California Building Standards Commission. Prior to adoption, amendments to the state codes may be incorporated by the local jurisdiction if they can be justified on the basis of a local climatic, geological, and/or topographical conditions which affect the jurisdiction. The adoption of these Codes with few enhancements will reduce duplication and over-regulation, the burden of complicated standards, while at the same time ensure safe structures in the community .
