318.130 Kentucky State Plumbing Code -- Rules and regulations.
In order to administer this chapter, the department shall promulgate and thereafter
from time to time may amend a code to be known as the Kentucky State Plumbing
Code, regulating the construction, installation, and alteration of plumbing and
plumbing fixtures and appliances, house sewers and private water supplies, and
methods and materials to be used therein within this state, using as a minimum
standard the basic principles of the National Plumbing Code Coordinating
Committee, as evidenced by that committee's final report of 1951 with variations
thereof or additions thereto as the committee considers are warranted by local,
climatic, or other conditions. The code may also designate the number of plumbing
fixtures for public buildings. The department may adopt any other reasonable rule or
regulation to administer this chapter if the rule or regulation has been subject to
review and comment by the committee under the requirements of KRS 198B.030(8)
and (9) and 198B.040(11). No rules or regulations so approved by the committee
shall become effective except upon adoption by the department, in satisfaction of the
requirements of KRS Chapter 13A. The department shall furnish to the committee
proposed amendments to the code for the committee's review and comment prior to
their adoption by the department. The department shall not promulgate any rules or
regulations related to this chapter without granting the committee the opportunity to
comment on the administrative regulation.
