HB 5056 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Construction: code; requirement for the state construction code to consist of certain international codes; eliminate and create an advisory committee. Amends sec. 4 of 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1504).

HB 5056 requires Michigan's state construction code to adopt specific international codes, including the International Residential Code and International Energy Conservation Code, as the baseline for building safety and energy standards. It eliminates the current advisory committee and creates a new 19-member advisory committee with representatives from architects, contractors, fire services, building officials, energy efficiency specialists, disability advocates, and low-income housing groups. The committee must review updates to these international codes, evaluate proposed changes based on public health, safety, economic impact, and technical feasibility, and submit recommendations to the state director within 45 days. This bill directly affects construction professionals, building inspectors, and developers who must comply with the updated code requirements. The new process ensures public input through accessible meetings and transparent voting on code revisions.
