103A.12 ADOPTION AND WITHDRAWAL -- PROCEDURE.
The state building code is applicable in each governmental
subdivision of the state in which the governing body has enacted an
ordinance accepting the applicability of the code and has filed a
certified copy of the ordinance in the office of the commissioner.
The state building code becomes effective in the governmental
subdivision upon the date fixed by the governmental subdivision
ordinance, which must not be more than six months after the date of
adoption of the ordinance.
A governmental subdivision in which the state building code is
applicable may by ordinance, at any time after one year has elapsed
since the code became applicable, withdraw from the application of
the code. The local governing body shall hold a public hearing,
after giving not less than four but not more than twenty days' public
notice, together with written notice to the commissioner of the time,
place, and purpose of the hearing, before the ordinance to withdraw
is voted upon. A certified copy of the vote of the local governing
body shall be transmitted within ten days after the vote is taken to
the commissioner. The ordinance becomes effective at a time to be
specified in the ordinance, which must be not less than one hundred
eighty days after the date of adoption. Upon the effective date of
the ordinance, the state building code ceases to apply to the
governmental subdivision except that construction of a building or
structure pursuant to a permit previously issued is not affected by
the withdrawal.
A governmental subdivision which has withdrawn from the
application of the state building code may, at any time thereafter,
restore the application of the code in the same manner as specified
in this section. Section History: Early Form
