H.R. 5473, the Promoting Resilient Buildings Act
H.R. 5473 would allow home builders and municipalities to abide by rules published in the two latest editions of building codes, rather than just the single latest edition, when utilizing FEMA's hazard mitigation funds.
Passage of this codes bill will provide regulatory relief for builders, ease upward pressure on construction costs and help local governments.
The House will vote on this bill on Dec. 11.
