relative to the use of spruce-pine-fir lumber.

Summary

The bill changes the state building code so that spruce‑pine‑fir‑south (SPFS) lumber harvested and graded in New Hampshire can be used wherever spruce‑pine‑fir (SPF) is required. This helps New Hampshire loggers, sawmills and builders by treating local wood the same as the Canadian‑graded SPF, which is often more expensive. Architects and engineers may still specify stronger materials if needed for safety.
