10th Edition Draft language

Sorry it has been a while, it has been tough for me to attend the meetings.


Looking over the  BBRS meeting minuets, the ongoing review chapter by chapter has continued.


A motion was made and approve to publish all the draft language possible so the public may view the proposals before the hearing in April


The Board discussed at length the  processes, schedule, getting reports back from the subcommittees and the release date of January 2023.

Gordon Bailey  finished  Chapter 1 of the IBC, with many of the change given to reflect how we actually operate in Mass. Since the BBRS is trying to align Ch. 1 for IBC and IRC only a few change to IRC, left off at R105.2.1. 


The State inspectors and others  gave considerable input into the  chapter. 


Discussion of Chair Crowely appointment to the FPFP chairman position
