Establishes standards for reusing deconstructed building materials and sets grading standards for salvage lumber.

This bill amends the executive law to establish standards for the reuse of deconstructed building materials. It requires the uniform building code to set standards for salvage lumber, ensuring it is free of defects and meets structural integrity requirements. Additionally, the secretary of state must develop a program for grading salvage lumber for structural purposes, in consultation with industry stakeholders. The program must include standards for determining the structural integrity of salvage lumber and be updated as necessary to reflect advances in technology and best practices.
