HF 2005 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

State Building Code; straw bale construction and hempcrete construction rulemaking required.

HF 2005 requires the Minnesota State Building Code commissioner to adopt specific rules for straw bale construction and hempcrete construction. This procedural bill mandates rulemaking to establish standards for these alternative building methods but does not set the rules themselves. The bill directly affects builders, developers, and inspectors who may use these materials in construction projects. It focuses on creating a regulatory framework for these sustainable building techniques within Minnesota's building code.
