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

Summary

The act creates a new category of small, self‑contained housing called SAFE Units and sets detailed construction, safety, and size standards for them. It lets municipalities bypass normal zoning and building approvals during declared emergencies to build these units, and requires periodic reports to state officials. The bill also exempts compliant SAFE Units from many existing building and fire code requirements.
