AN ACT CONCERNING THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE CODES AND STANDARDS COMMITTEE.

SB 1240 reduces the membership of Connecticut's Codes and Standards Committee from 23 to 20 members by removing specific roles: one licensed architect, one structural/mechanical/electrical engineer (replacing the option for a mechanical engineer with fire protection experience), a public health official, and two public members. It adds two new contractor roles: one licensed for commercial fire sprinkler systems and another for commercial fire alarm systems. The bill also clarifies that local building and fire officials on the committee must be actively engaged in their duties. This procedural change, effective October 1, 2025, has no fiscal impact on state or municipal budgets.
