SB 94 New Hampshire Senate · 2025 Regular Session

prohibiting municipal amendments to the state building code.

SB 94 prevents cities and towns from making their own changes to the state's building code. It requires all local building regulations to follow the state code exactly, without adding stricter requirements. This directly affects municipal governments, which can no longer customize building standards for local needs like energy efficiency or accessibility. The bill ensures a single, statewide standard for construction rules, removing local flexibility in code enforcement.
