The House of Representatives will be voting today or tomorrow on legislation to create a uniform Maine Building Code. The legislation states that towns with building codes in place may voluntarily adopt the new Maine Building Code. If a municipality does not have a set of codes, it will be required to adopt the new Maine Building code, which is comprised of the International Residential Codes and the International Building Codes. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is lobbying to amend the legislation to allow towns to choose to implement either the new Maine Building Code or the NFPA 5000 Building and Fire Code. Passing this amendment would defeat the purpose of creating a consistent, uniform and statewide building code. URGE YOUR REPRESENTIVE TO VOTE “NO” ON THE AMENDMENT TO ADD THE NFPA BUILDING AND FIRE CODE TO LD 1025!
