California AB2044 amends building standards to require cost of compliance estimates and analysis for proposed standards.

California AB2044 amends the Health and Safety Code to require state agencies to submit a statement of estimated cost of compliance with proposed building standards to the California Building Standards Commission. The commission cannot approve or adopt a building standard without this statement. The bill also specifies criteria for approving building standards, including ensuring they do not conflict with existing standards, are within the agency's jurisdiction, and promote public interest.
