BUILDING CODES: Provides relative to standards when constructing a residential roof

HB 453 requires all new or replaced residential roofs in Louisiana's coastal zone (as defined by law) to meet fortified roof standards set by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. This applies to all residential properties within parishes designated in the coastal zone boundary. The bill directly affects homeowners and builders constructing or renovating roofs in these coastal areas by mandating specific wind-resistance standards. It updates building codes to enhance property resilience against storm damage without specifying new costs or enforcement details.
