Gavin Newsom, contains provisions aimed at addressing the state\u2019s housing affordability crisis and easing the frustrations of Los Angeles residents who have been seeking building permits after losing their homes in wildfires earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>According to the California Building Industry Association (CBIA), the legislation prevents California from considering, approving, or adopting any changes to residential building codes until June 1, 2031, except in emergency situations or in the case of wildfire mitigation. The bill further prevents local municipalities from amending their code during the same period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a huge win for us, and for home buyers and renters in the state,\u201d said Chris Ochoa, CBIA\u2019s senior counsel for codes. \u201cIt remains to be seen if these provisions can be expanded to other states, but California\u2019s change of direction on building codes and permit reviews can be seen as a sign that anything is possible if there\u2019s political will.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2014 California-based homebuilders
