The International Code Council (ICC) recently released the final results of the Public Comment Hearings and Online Governmental Consensus Vote. …A new feature of this cycle is the “three strikes rule,” where a proposal disapproved at both committee action hearings and the public comment hearing does not go to the final vote. …Significant proposals opposed by NAHB and disapproved under the new rule included expanded construction documents and under-slab vapor retarder requirements for the IRC and more stringent International Wildland-Urban Interface Code (IWUIC) requirements based on California’s wildfire mitigation provisions. NAHB had an overall success rate of 85% obtaining its desired outcomes on proposals affecting the residential construction industry. …The 2027 I-Codes will be published in stages over the rest of 2026 and early 2027, with the IBC, IFC and IWUIC anticipated in September 2026 and the IRC in February 2027.
