ICC Public Comment Hearings on Proposed Building Code Changes Begin April 19
The International Code Council (ICC) will hold its combined Public Comment Hearings for the 2024-2027 building code cycle beginning April 19 in Hartford, Conn.
NAHB members are encouraged to attend the event live or watch via webcast to better understand the code development process and inform their actions during voting and later code adoption.
The 2024-2027 code development cycle is the first to use a combined Public Comment Hearing (PCH) under the ICC’s revised process, which now includes two Committee Action Hearings per code group. Under this process, all International Residential Code (IRC), International Building Code (IBC), and other I-Code (except energy) proposals receiving a public comment from Group A (2024) and Group B (2025) are heard in a single PCH.
The hearings will start on Sunday, April 19 at 1:00 pm ET at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford and are scheduled to run through April 23. The hearings are open to the public and registration is free.
