Nebraska LB801 updates building and energy codes by adopting new International Building Code and International Residential Code versions.

Nebraska LB801 amends the state building code to adopt the 2024 edition of the International Building Code and the 2018 edition of the International Residential Code, with specific exceptions. It also includes the International Existing Building Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, and minimum standards for radon-resistant construction. Local governments must adopt the state building code or a code conforming to it. The bill repeals previous sections and requires local governments to notify the Department of Water Resources of any amendments to their building codes.
