Included below is a notice I received from the California Building Standards Commission. This is in response to a Petition APP-TECH presented to, and accepted by, the California Building Standards Commission to initiate an Emergency Rulemaking proceeding to amend the State\u2019s Green Code. This is an opportunity for the public to propose revisions or additions to both the Residential and Non-Residential State Green Code, April 5th. It is especially important to identify implementation problems with the Mandatory requirements and possible solutions.
\nWhat is not clear in this notice is that the CBSC plans on incorporating the recommendations of this Committee meeting and enacting them as an Emergency Rulemaking proceeding at their April 19 meeting. Once enacted, these revisions will become effective immediately! If you know of any other organizations which might want to inform their membership about this meeting, please pass this information along to them.<\/p>\n
