The Guide for Creating Proposed Building Standards is intended for state agency employees who work on building standards rulemaking documents.
A Public Guide to the Building Standards Adoption Process is written for members of the public who want to understand and participate in the development and adoption of building standards.
Participate in energy code development!
The California Energy Commission has recently published an insightful document that gives opportunity to better understand and engage with the Title 24 Part 6 development process.
Opportunity to Comment on Proposed State Regulations
The AIA California encourages members to participate in the state regulatory process and weigh in on proposed rulemakings that are of interest.
How may the public comment on a proposed regular rulemaking action?
State agencies are requires to hold a 45-day period for the public to comment to the agency in writing on the proposed regulation. The notice of proposed action specifies the rulemaking agency name, contact person and address where the comments must be directed and the date the written comment period closes.
