Good afternoon, everyone!

Congratulations on a successful Building Safety Month! Communities and chapters across the country generated nearly 400 proclamations throughout the month. If you haven't shared your proclamation, there's still time – just upload it on the website or send it to me. It was an honor to be a part of some of your special events spotlighting the efforts of the building safety community.

Please be sure to check out this weeks BSJ here https://www.iccsafe.org/building-safety-journal/ for a featured article on State Building Official Omarys Vasquez.

Good day, all,

Dear Interested Parties,

On April 28, 2026, the Legislative Regulation Review Committee of the Connecticut General Assembly declined to approve the drafts of the Connecticut State Building, Fire Safety, and Fire Prevention Codes due to the committee’s concerns with the adoption of the model International Fire Code provisions for fire service vehicle access roadways.
