State Historical Building Code: playgrounds.

The State Historical Building Code authorizes the State Historical Building Safety Board to write regulations, and have consultation, review, and appellate functions for code and regulation issues relating to qualified historic buildings, structures, and properties. Existing law requires the replacement of equipment or modification of components inside existing playgrounds to conform to the playground-related standards set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials and the playground-related guidelines set forth by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. This bill would place qualified playgrounds and playground sites with historical or cultural significance under the exclusive jurisdiction of the State Historical Building Code.
