71-6405. State building code; compliance required; amendment by state agency.

All state agencies, including all state constitutional offices, state administrative departments, and state boards and commissions, the University of Nebraska, and the Nebraska state colleges, shall comply with the state building code. No state agency may adopt, promulgate, or enforce any rule or regulation in conflict with the state building code unless otherwise specifically authorized by statute to adopt or enforce a building or construction code other than the state building code. Nothing in the Building Construction Act shall authorize any state agency to apply such act to manufactured homes or recreational vehicles regulated by the Uniform Standard Code for Manufactured Homes and Recreational Vehicles or to modular housing units regulated by the Nebraska Uniform Standards for Modular Housing Units Act. A state agency may, by rule or regulation, amend the state building code by adopting any supplement, new edition, or appendix of the International Building Code (IBC), 2000 edition, International Residential Code (IRC), 2000 edition, or the International Existing Building Code, 2009 Edition, referred to in section 71-6403, except that all amendments shall be approved in advance by the Director of Administrative Services. Amendments to the state building code may also include variations from the code which will reduce unnecessary costs of construction, increase safety, durability, or efficiency, or address special local conditions within the state.
