Governor Will Also Pay $70,000 to Settle Records Suit
Under a legal settlement announced today, the two members of the Building Code Council the governor appointed to represent the residential and commercial building industries will resign. Then the governor must replace them with nominees from BIAW and AGC. The governor’s office must also pay BIAW $70,000 in connection with a separate Public Records Act lawsuit.
“This is a tremendous victory for the members of our association, for protecting the cost of housing and for holding elected officials accountable to following the law,” said BIAW Executive VP Greg Lane.
“The Building Code Council makes critical decisions that impact hundreds of thousands of homeowners and businesses. The law was rightfully designed to ensure industries like residential construction, that are directly affected by the code, have a seat at the table when changes are considered.”
