VAN DE KAMP, Attorney General Ronald M. Weiskopf, Deputy THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION has requested an opinion on the following question: Does Health and Safety Code section 18941.5, subdivision (a), apply the building standards as they appear in the model codes that are named in that subdivision, or as they have been amended and appear in the California Building Standards Code, to all occupancies throughout the state? CONCLUSION Health and Safety Code section 18941.5, subdivision (a), applies the building standards of the model codes named in the subdivision as they have been amended and appear in the California Building Standards Code to all occupancies throughout the state. ANALYSIS The State Building Standards Code (Tit. 24, Cal. Code Regs.) is a composite of building standards of three different backgrounds: some have been adopted directly by state agencies without change from building stand- ards contained in various model industry codes; some have been adapted from the model codes' standards to meet California conditions; and some constitute extensive additions to the model codes that have been adopted to address particular California concerns. Section 18941, subdivision (a), of the Health and Safety Code' makes certain building standards applicable to all occupancies throughout California. The subdivision provides as follows: The building standards contained in the Uniform Fire Code of the International Conference of Building Officials and the Western Fire Chiefs Association, Inc., the Uniform Building Code of the International Conference of Building Officials, the Uniform Plumb- ing Code of the International Association of Plumbing and Mechani- cal Officials, the National Electrical Code of the National Fire 1 Unidentified section references hereinafter refer to sections of the Health and Safety Code. Also, all references to the State Building Code, the State Building Standards Code, and Title 24 of the California Administrative Code, mean the California Building Standards Code. ( 18902.)
