Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to House Bill 1899 updates the focus of the legislation to prioritize rebuilding efforts after wildfires. The new version emphasizes flexibility with state building codes to aid recovery, acknowledging the increased costs and complexities caused by new regulations. It also highlights the need for modern, energy-efficient building practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which could otherwise worsen wildfire risks in the future. This change is significant as it seeks to ensure that rebuilt structures are more sustainable and resilient against future disasters.

In recent years, devastating wildfires have destroyed homes, businesses, and infrastructure.
(1) In 2023, wildfires destroyed homes, businesses, infrastructure, and lives.
These wildfires have become more frequent and more destructive due to the effects of climate change.
The governor issued an emergency proclamation on August 19, 2023, covering all areas of the state and directed state agencies and departments to do everything reasonably possible to assist affected political subdivisions in an effort to respond to and recover from the event.
Since the original construction of many of the lost structures, technological advances have made possible more energy efficient buildings, greater use of electric vehicles, and more opportunities to utilize solar energy.
The legislature intends to provide relief to people and communities by increasing flexibility and options for state building code compliance.
The insurance coverage for the destroyed structures, however, may not cover reconstruction utilizing new methods and technologies.
The state building code council adopted new building codes that added more costs and complexity to all buildings.
As a result, many buildings may be rebuilt in less efficient ways that require greater use of greenhouse gases.
Many structures consumed by wildfires had insurance coverage based on repair or replacement costs drawn to the rules as they existed on January 1, 2023.
These greenhouse gases, in turn, will exacerbate the threat of wildfires.
To facilitate rebuilding communities, and in recognition of the terrible destruction that the wildfire victims face, the legislature declares that building permit applications repairing or rebuilding structures p.
It is the intent of the legislature to assist in disrupting this cycle.
1 HB 1899 after wildfire damage may be built in compliance with state building code rules in effect on January 1, 2023, or the ones in place at the time of application.
By making grants available to local governments, businesses, and individuals to repair or replace damaged or destroyed buildings in more energy efficient and environmentally friendly ways, the legislature will encourage a more sustainable use of resources and p.

1 SHB 1899 increased climate resilience with resulting environmental benefits for all of the people of the state.
