General Code Adoption Process
(1) The division, in consultation with the appropriate advisory board, establishes a timetable to collect proposed code amendments. The timetable depends on the publication date and general availability of the proposed base model code.
(2) The division will notify interested persons of the timetable at least 45 days before the ending period for collecting proposed code amendments.
(3) During the timeframe for proposing code amendments, an interested person may also recommend that the division incorporate, statewide code interpretations and alternate method rulings into the Oregon specialty code.
(4) The division, in consultation with an appropriate advisory board, reviews prior code amendments, statewide code interpretations, and alternate method rulings during the code adoption and amendment process. The division recommends whether to carry prior code amendments, statewide code interpretations, and alternate method rulings forward to a newly adopted Oregon specialty code or to archive prior code amendments, statewide code interpretations, and alternate method rulings for informational purposes.
