WASHINGTON–Legislation designed to encourage communities to establish and enforce strong building codes by offering federal grants to do so was introduced in both the House and Senate yesterday.
The legislation would establish a Community Building Code Administration Grant Program, which would provide awards to local governments for building code administration and enforcement. It was introduced as HR 4461 in the House by Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Kan., and as S. 2458 in the Senate by Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.
“As co-chair of the Congressional Hazards Caucus, I'm well aware of the damaging effects that natural disasters can have on our communities,” said Rep. Moore.
