DAR File No.: 28286

Received by: NLRULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
The Division and the Uniform Building Code Commission are proposing amendments to: 1) reduce the number of members on the plumbing and health advisory committee from seven to five members; 2) eliminate the electrical advisory committee; 3) update the electrical code adopted from the 2002 National Electrical Code (NEC) to the current 2005 NEC; and 4) implement the semi-annual proposed changes to building codes that have been approved by the Uniform Building Code Commission after review by the appropriate subcommittees.
Summary of the rule or change:
In Subsection R156-56-202(1)(b), this change reduces the number of members on the plumbing and health advisory committee from seven to five members. We have had a difficulty finding sufficient plumbing engineers willing to serve on this committee and at times this has made it difficult to obtain a quorum. In Subsection R156-56-202(1)(g), this change eliminates the electrical advisory committee. This committee has had minimal duties due to the very small number of changes proposed to the electrical code. The Commission believes that it can handle the limited needs without using this committee. In Subsection R156-56-701(1)(b), this change is to update the electrical code adopted from the 2002 NEC code to the current 2005 NEC and to make that code effective January 1, 2006. In Subsection R156-56-704(23), this change clarifies emergency egress requirements in certain secured occupancies where the health, safety and welfare of the occupants may be best served by not allowing emergency exiting without staff authorization or supervision, such as in hospital nurseries or nursing homes with patients such as Alzheimer inflicted patients. Also, the remaining subsections in this section have been renumbered. In Subsection R156-56-704(56), this change amends Section 2506.2.1 and corrects a reference to the standards referred to. In Subsection R156-56-707(23), this change clarifies that certain subsections were not meant to be deleted in a prior amendment and adds an exception to the amendment affecting 417.5.2 regarding shower linings. In Subsection R156-56-711(13), this change adds back the provisions allowing for winder stairs that were inadvertently deleted by a prior amendment. This inadvertent deletion occurred when the International Building Code (IBC) national code was changed to add winders into a section of the IBC code that had been deleted by a prior state amendment. When the national code was changed, it was not originally noted by our committee that this change of placement of the winder stair provision would not be carried forward as part of the Utah adopted code. This happened because the Utah amendment deleted the entire code section in the IBC and the section was reinserted as amended.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
Section 58-56-1 and Subsections 58-1-106(1)(a), 58-1-202(1)(a), 58-56-4(2) and 58-56-6(2)(a)
The 2002 National Electrical Code is updated to the 2005 edition of the National Electrical Code.
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
The proposed amendments should have no direct effect on the state budget other than the purchase of the 2005 National Electrical Code book which costs $66. The Division is unable to determine how many persons in state government would need to purchase the new code book.
local governments:
The proposed amendments should have no direct effect on local governments other than the purchase of the 2005 National Electrical Code book which costs $66. The Division is unable to determine how many persons in local governments throughout the state would need to purchase the new code book.
other persons:
The change reducing the number of plumbing and health advisory committee member from seven to five members will result in no costs or savings impact as service this committee is voluntary and members receive no per diem. The change deleting the electrical committee will result in no costs or savings as service on this committee is voluntary and members receive no per diem. The electrical reviews will be done but by the Commission itself. The change to update the electrical code adopted from the 2002 NEC code to the current 2005 NEC will require persons involved in the electrical trade or building inspection to purchase new code books and maintain their competence to current electrical standards. The cost of the new 2005 National Electrical Code book is $66. Most persons would have to maintain current competencies even without the code changes. The overall impact should be minimal. It is impossible to determine the impact of the electrical code changes to the cost of construction as that would depend on the project. It is estimated that the overall impact will be minimal. The clarification of emergency egress requirements will have no cost or savings impact. Other changes are all technical amendments and the cost of compliance would depend on the particular construction project; however, the proposed amendments do not appear to have any substantial effect on the costs of construction.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
The only known cost to affected persons as a result of the proposed amendments is the $66 cost to purchase the new 2005 National Electrical Code book.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
The proposed amendments include the following: reducing the number of committee members, eliminating the electrical advisory committee, adopting the current national electrical code, clarifying emergency egress requirements, and making other technical changes to clarify and update the law. There appears to be no significant fiscal impact to businesses as a result of these amendments, other than those previously noted in this rule summary. Francine A. Giani, Executive Director
