Fiscal Estimate
Assumptions used in arriving at fiscal estimate
The proposed rules adopt by reference the 2009 editions of the International Code Council® (ICC) suite of building codes – the International Building Code® (IBC), the International Energy Conservation Code® (IECC), International Existing Buildings Code® (IEBC), the International Fuel Gas Code® (IFGC) and the International Mechanical Code® (IMC) — and makes Wisconsin modifications to these codes within the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code (WCBC). The promulgation of these rules will affect businesses involved in the design, construction, maintenance and inspection of public buildings and places of employment, including commercial buildings and structures and multifamily dwellings.
The proposed rules require plan review for buildings >25,000 sq. ft and < 50,000 sq. ft. This will impact about 170 projects annually, and will result in an estimated annual revenue increase of $78,500. Currently, these projects pay $25 for a building project registration and $25 for the registration of building components. Under the proposed rules change, individual projects will pay a building plan review fee of $400 to $450, including an $100 plan entry fee, and in some cases, an additional fee for component plan review such as $180 to $200 for HVAC plan review and $60 to $100 for fire system plan review.
By expanding the types of occupancies for plan review of fire protection systems, the department estimates that annual submittals will increase by 629 plans. Fees for fire protection systems plans ran from $30 to $7,100 and vary depending on the size of the structure and if the structure is located in a municipality that is delegated to conduct fire protection system inspection. That department estimates that it would realize about $193,600 in revenue annually.
The department anticipates that the workload associated with requiring plan review for buildings >25,000 sq. ft. and <50,000 sq. ft and the expanded plan review of fire protection systems can be managed with current information technology and within current staff levels.

15 USCS §§ 6301 et seq.] shall prohibit a State from adopting or enforcing supplemental or more stringent laws or regulations not inconsistent with this Act [
15 USCS §§ 6301 et seq.], or criminal, civil, or administrative fines for violations of such laws or regulations." The proposed amendments to the current boxing rules are consistent with this regulation.
