Building codes; Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board; Alabama Residential Building Code, authorized to be established

This bill establishes a new Alabama Residential Building Code based on national standards and creates a dedicated division within the Home Builders Licensure Board to manage it. It requires local governments and residential home builders to adopt and follow these minimum standards for new construction, renovations, and repairs. Additionally, the legislation creates a state fund to support code enforcement grants and reorganizes an existing energy code board to focus solely on commercial projects.
