This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

The California Building Standards Law requires any building standard adopted or proposed by a state agency to be submitted to, and approved or adopted by, the California Building Standards Commission prior to codification. This bill would make several legislative findings and declarations relating to maximum exit access travel distance regulations in the California Building Code. The bill would require, for buildings that are one story in height and for buildings meeting specified occupancies, the maximum exit access travel distance to be 400 feet where specified requirements are met. The bill would provide that these standards shall remain operative until they are adopted by the commission as part of the California Building Code.
