Code Advisory Committees
Six Code Advisory Committees advise the Commission and its staff on proposed building standards:
The Code Advisory Committees annually review the technical merit of building standards proposed by state agencies, and provide recommendations to the BSC.
Committee members are appointed by the BSC and represent the public, building design professionals, the building and construction industry, local government building officials, fire officials, and other affected parties. Members serve three-year terms and are not compensated, but are reimbursed for travel expenses.
