The International Code Council kicks off the 2021 Committee Action Hearings this weekend

Washington, D.C. – The International Code Council Committee Action Hearings will begin Sunday, April 11, and run through May 5, 2021.

The Group A Codes include:

  • International Building Code
  • International Fire Code
  • International Fuel Gas Code

  • International Plumbing Code
  • International Private Sewage Disposal Code

“The virtual code hearings allow us to continue our development of the 2024 I-Codes while also ensuring the health and safety of hearing participants, which is our number one priority,” said Dominic Sims, CBO, Chief Executive Officer of the Code Council. “The hearings are a highly collaborative process to which we welcome participation from a diverse group of industry professionals.”
