BILL NUMBER:S7565 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to the adoption by local governments of higher or more restrictive standards for construction PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To amend Executive Law § 379 to alter the process for approving local standards for construction which are higher or more restrictive than those applicable generally in the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code ("Uniform Code") SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends subdivisions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Executive Law 379 and adds a new subdivision 6 to change the process by which cities, towns, villages and Nassau County may adopt higher or more restrictive construction standards than are applicable generally in the Uniform Code.

The local standards would not take effect while the Code Council considers the local government's petition.
