Straw bale construction and hempcrete construction rulemaking requirement provision
SF 2923 requires the commissioner of the Department of Labor and Industry to develop specific building rules for straw bale construction and hempcrete construction under Minnesota's State Building Code. This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to add a new requirement (subdivision 4(o)) mandating these rules be created. The rules will directly affect builders, architects, and inspectors working with these alternative construction methods in Minnesota. The bill itself does not specify the rules' content but sets a process for their development.
