2025 Intervening Code Adoption Cycle Proposed Rulemakings

CBSC will take action to approve, disapprove, require further study, or approve as amended the proposed code changes to various parts contained in the California Building Standards Code, Title 24, California Code of Regulations.  Upon adoption, these building standards will be codified and published as a supplement to the 2025 California Building Standards Code, Title 24, California Code of Regulations.  Commission action will be guided by the nine point criteria established in Health and Safety Code Section 18930.  CBSC will consider each agency's proposed building standards and its justifications, Code Advisory Committee (CAC) recommendations, comments submitted during the public comment periods, and oral or written comments received at these meetings.  The public may comment on any challenges to the proposals or CAC recommendations.  No new issues or new information challenging the proposed code changes may be presented to CBSC in the meetings where the commissioners are voting on the proposed regulations.

Nine-Point Criteria & AB 130

The proposed building standards are required to comply with specific criteria listed in Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 18930, commonly known as the Nine-Point criteria.  Budget trailer bill AB 130 (Chapter 22, Statutes of 2025) added subdivision (g) to HSC 18930 enacting a 6-year moratorium on most residential building standards.  

Intervening Cycle Restrictions

AB 130 amended Health and Safety Code Section 18942 enacting restrictions on the types of standards that may be proposed during an intervening code adoption cycle.
