2005 - 2006 LEGISLATURE

2005 Senate BILL 601

February 14, 2006 - Introduced by Senator Schultz, cosponsored by Representative Albers. Referred to Committee on Housing and Financial Institutions.

SB601,1,2 An Act to create 101.02 (22) of the statutes; relating to: information designated on standard building permits concerning the use of insulating concrete forms.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) must prescribe standard building permit forms for various types of construction, including new construction of one- and two-family dwellings. The bill requires that on these forms Commerce must provide a designation to indicate whether insulating concrete forms are being used in the construction of the building for which the permit is issued. The bill defines an "insulating concrete form" to be a hollow expandable polystyrene form that is filled with concrete.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
