Body
BACKGROUND: The Oklahoma Legislature, in May 2009, passed legislation creating the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission (OUBCC). The Commission is composed of eleven members from different fields and is tasked with creating a statewide Uniform Building Code. The OUBCC completed the legislative process in calendar year 2012 necessary for the state adoption, with amendments, of the 2009 International Building Code (IBC), International Fire Code (IFC), International Existing Building Code (IEBC), International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), International Mechanical Code (IMC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), the 2006 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and the 2011 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) to be used as the minimum code standards governing the built environment throughout the state. These codes became effective November 1, 2012.
The 2009 edition of the International Residential Code (IRC) is omitted from the preceding list of codes because that code was adopted previously with an effective date within the City of June 2, 2012. Similarly, the 2006 Edition of the International Energy Conservation Code, although recently adopted by the state, was adopted previously by the City with an effective date of October 22, 2009.
