The State Building Code Council (SBCC) voted on May 24, 2023, to delay the effective date of the 2021 codes until October 29, 2023 (120 days).  The SBCC also created to Technical Advisory Groups to consider stakeholder proposals on sections of the commercial and energy codes.  Possible modifications are being considered as a result of legal uncertainty stemming from the decision in California Restaurant Association v. City of Berkeley.
