Processes

• Annual Code Adoption Cycle
  How HCD, DSA, OSHPD, or OSFM propose changes to building standards
• Regular Rulemaking
  How other state agencies propose changes to building standards
• Emergency Rulemaking
  How any state agency proposes emergency changes to building standards
• Approving, Returning, or Rejecting Proposed Standards
  How the BSC determines whether to approve, reject, or return a proposed building standard

The BSC also provides templates and checklists to assist state agencies who want to propose changes to building standards or regulations.
