Nebraska LR432 proposes an interim study to examine how current residential building codes affect the cost of rehabilitating older properties and if changes need to be made to such codes to lessen the cost of rehabilitation. The study will include examining which current residential building codes are not appropriate for existing older homes, determining if there is a certain date or version of the residential building code that was adequate for the safety of the inhabitants of such homes, and whether any current version of the code would cause unnecessary cost increases.
