As the ICC continues to strengthen and expand its role as
an advocate for and expert in building safety, involvement
in activities at the Congressional level has become an integral
part of it's government relations activities. ICC's Congressional
Relations is a continuing dedicated effort to keep ICC members
informed and involved in pending actions in Congress that
have implications for the built environment. Concomitantly
Congressional Relations promotes greater awareness in Congress
of building and fire-safety issues and of the ICC's resources
and expertise.
Congressional Relations Objectives:
Obtain reference of the I-Codes in federal legislation
Position ICC as a resource/expert on building safety issues
Strengthen ICC's advocacy efforts to produce favorable
outcomes for building safety, building and fire officials,
and the construction industry
In addition to closely tracking relevant Congressional legislation,
Congressional Relations staff monitors the Federal Register
for rulemakings that affect ICC and ICC's members and partners.
GR staff proposes changes and additions to legislation with
the intent of encouraging recognition and referencing of the
I-Codes.
