Concerning membership in the state building code council.

SB 5429 establishes a 21-member State Building Code Council within Washington's Department of Enterprise Services, amending RCW 19.27.070. The bill specifies detailed membership requirements, including representation from local governments (county/city officials based on population size), the construction industry (13 private sector members across specialties like commercial building, green construction, and plumbing), accessibility experts, utility providers, and legislative members. Key mechanisms require members to maintain industry relevance during their terms, mandate governor appointments based on trade association nominations, and include ethics training requirements. This bill directly affects state agencies, local governments, and the construction industry by restructuring council composition and appointment processes.
