BUILDING CODES: Requests the Louisiana State Licensing Board of Contractors and the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code Council to study and report to the legislature information and recommendations regarding adoption of the fortified roof building standards into the building codes for the coastal zone

This resolution requests Louisiana's State Licensing Board of Contractors and Uniform Construction Code Council to study adopting FORTIFIED Roof building standards into coastal zone building codes. It directly affects coastal homeowners, contractors, and insurers by examining how requiring these hurricane-resistant roof standards could reduce property damage and lower insurance costs. The study would evaluate the standards' feasibility, costs, and benefits, building on Alabama's successful adoption in storm-prone areas. The boards must report findings to the legislature by February 2026, though the resolution itself does not enact any new requirements.
