AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH AND SAFETY -- STATE BUILDING CODE

Summary

The bill adds a new section to Rhode Island’s State Building Code that removes the automatic statewide requirement for the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) on one‑ and two‑family homes smaller than 2,000 square feet. Municipalities can choose whether to adopt, modify, or reject those energy standards for such homes. Larger residences and non‑residential buildings remain subject to existing statewide codes.
