HB 4306 establishes the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission to set minimum standards for all residential and commercial construction across the state. It requires continuing education and certification for building code officials, inspectors, and trade workers, with free training offered to state-licensed code officials and limited fees for others to cover costs. The bill connects this training to the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board’s licensing requirements, allowing Commission-approved programs to satisfy continuing education needs for renewing licenses. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
