Senate, November 13, 2025 -- The committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure to whom was referred the petition (accompanied by bill, Senate, No. 256) of Joan B. Lovely for legislation relative to the occupational therapist interstate licensure compact, report the accompanying bill (Senate, No. 2672).
Maddy summarySD 117 establishes a State Board of Building Regulations and Standards to develop a statewide building code that requires climate resilience and energy efficiency in new construction. The bill mandates that building standards address climate risks like flooding, extreme weather, and sea-level rise using science-based floodplain maps and historical data. Local towns and cities can adopt "expanded floodplain maps" (beyond federal FEMA maps) to determine flood risks and enforce flood-resistant building requirements. The bill also directs the board to eliminate outdated regulations that increase construction costs without improving climate resilience or public safety.
