Summary

This bill amends Michigan's construction code to create a conditional provision. If the Department of Labor incorporates the International Code Council's standards for interior exit stairways in multi-family residential buildings of 4 or more levels into the Michigan code, then a current provision in the construction code (Section 4j) will not apply. The bill only takes effect if House Bill 5570 is also enacted, indicating the two bills are designed to work together as part of a broader construction code update.
