Relative to nonstructural seismic technologies.
This resolution expresses the California Legislature's support for prioritizing nonstructural seismic technologies in building retrofits and new construction. It encourages the use of verified products for components like ceilings, HVAC systems, and piping to prevent them from becoming damaged during earthquakes, which can sometimes make buildings unsafe even if their main structure remains intact. The measure aims to reduce property damage, speed up post-disaster recovery, and lower the environmental impact of cleanup efforts. As a formal statement of intent rather than a law with specific mandates, it directs the Chief Clerk to send copies to the author for distribution.
