HB 286 Building Code Amendments
in House Business and Labor. A different bill, with the same amendments and others, HB 285 is moving, passed the House and a the Senate, but with only 2 minutes to midnight on the last night. There was a senate amendment of one word in committee. The bill needed to come back to the house to concur prior to midnight. It didn't. The critical changes that were in HB 285 will be debated this summer. The items in HB 286 may be considered for a special session, if one happens or could be included by rule until next year.
