Introduced Text

Nebraska LB611 updates building and energy codes to align with 2021 International Energy Conservation Code.

Nebraska LB611 adopts the 2021 2018 International Energy Conservation Code as the Nebraska Energy Code. It mandates that all new buildings and renovations must meet or exceed these energy efficiency standards. The bill also allows local governments to adopt their own building codes, provided they conform to the state code and are regularly updated. The legislation repeals previous sections and amends existing statutes to reflect these changes, ensuring uniformity and efficiency in building practices across the state.
