California AB1070 mandates a study on using the California Residential Code for small multifamily buildings.

California AB1070 requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to study the feasibility of using the California Residential Code for residential developments with 3 to 10 units. The study will analyze conditions for safe construction, cost implications, and compare outcomes with larger multifamily buildings. The department must submit a report by December 31, 2028, and recommend amendments to building standards if necessary. The study will also consider interactions with other building codes and compare California's approach with other jurisdictions.
