Recent Bill Introductions...

• HB 881 is now Act 157 of 2006... This bill moved rapidly when the Senate reconvened on November 20, 2006, presumably due to provisions that received strenuous objections from the code enforcement community.  Governor Rendell signed the bill into law on November 29, 2006.
• SB 1179... Became law in September 5, 2006.  Lumber grading, manufactured home exemption, religious exemptions, no stamping of coal fired residential boilers, excludes replacement with vinyl and aluminum siding, and language concerning natural cut trees.

All other legislation introduced in the last session of the General Assembly pertaining to building codes were not enacted.  As new bills are introduced, they will be posted in this location.  Check back regularly to keep up-to-date on these important issues.
