AN ACT CONCERNING THE CLASSIFICATION OF HIGH TUNNELS AND HOOP HOMES UNDER THE STATE BUILDING CODE.

HB 6635 reclassifies high tunnels and hoop homes as temporary agricultural structures under Connecticut's State Building Code, rather than permanent structures. This change directly affects farmers and agricultural operations that use these farm structures, as it removes requirements for permanent building permits and inspections. The key provision updates the building code to exempt these structures from standard permanent construction regulations. This simplifies compliance for agricultural producers while maintaining safety standards specific to temporary farm use.
