Subject: | Exempting Small Home Improvement Projects from the Building Code |
I am re-introducing legislation to amend the Pennsylvania Construction Code (Act 45 of 1999) by exempting several types of common home improvement projects. This bill was Senate Bill 446 of 2019-2020. This legislation would assist homeowners in upgrading their homes by removing overly burdensome regulations and added costs on small improvement projects. The home projects that would be exempt from the UCC under this legislation include the following:
This legislation was drafted in response to numerous complaints I have received from constituents regarding the over-regulation of relatively small home improvements by the Building Code. Senate Bill 446 of 2019-2020 was co-sponsored by Senators Kristin Phillips-Hill, Stefano, Vogel, J. Ward, White, and Folmer. Thank you for your consideration, and for joining me in offering this legislation. |
Introduced as SB453
