Buildings: Focus Is on Senate for Code-Enforcement Bill - ENR | McGraw-Hill Construction

Description:
Efforts to give building-code enforcement a financial boost from the federal government are gaining some traction on Capitol Hill. Furthest along is the Community Building Code Administration Grant Act, which the House passed in July. The measure, introduced by Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.), would establish a matching-grant program to help bolster local building- and fire-code administration and enforcement. Supporters are hoping the Senate will follow suit. In that chamber, a companion bill was introduced by Mary Landrieu (D-La.), but the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee has yet to act on it.
