Building Codes Assistance Project

Resolve 46, Directing the Development of a Building Code and Building Rehabilitation Code Implementation Plan was passed in response to a recognition by the 123rd Maine State Legislature that more work needs to be done to achieve uniformity of building related codes across the state.

The Resolve 46 Committee presented their recommendations report and implementation plan to the Business Research and Economic Development (BRED) Committee on January 31, 2008. The BRED Committee decided to move forward with the Resolve 26 Committee’s report recommendations. Statutory language will be forthcoming and a public hearing will be scheduled by the BRED Committee in the near future.

Please consult the State Legislature’s website for the schedule of public hearings.

Please send your questions, concerns or comments about the administration of building related codes in Maine to: amy.cole-ives@maine.gov at the state Planning Office.
