The State Building Code Council will be holding a public hearing to receive public comments on proposed changes to WAC 51-50 International Building Code and WAC 51-54A International Fire Code regarding Group R-4 occupancy classification and licensed care facilities.
The hearing will be dedicated to testimony on the amendments to the 2021 International Building Code to adopt R-4 occupancy group and modify code provisions related to licensed care facilities. This adoption will require coordination with WAC 51-54A. The applicable sections in WAC 51-54A, International Fire Code, will be amended with expedited rulemaking for consistency with WAC 51-50.
