demanding entry into any building, and especial1y when entry is denied

CODE CHANGE
SESSIONS: September 13, 14, 15 and 16, 1993 - Approximately 500 code change
submittals in the monologue. Anyone may submit a code change in
proper form to be considered on the floor. Anyone may speak on a code
change; however, only a class "A" member may vote for APPROVAL,
APPROVAL AS REVISED, APPROVAL AS AMENDED or
DISAPPROVAL (A, AR, AA, D).
It seemed significant to me that an unusual number of the Code
Committee's recommendations on the various code changes were
overturned or revised, amended or outrightly disapproved. As usual,
many attempts to amend or revise code changes took place. There is
always a great risk of this kind of action, without having previous
unlimited review of such attempted amendments, which sometimes cause
real dilemmas, in errors and fa]] in conflict with existing or other new
code changes,

SUMMATION:
Considerable floor action in revising or amending proposed changes. Industry and
professionals were particularly active in floor debate as were the class "A" members. A very
productive code change session. It further reinforces the need for placing the UBC in several
volmnes, instead of one large manual. Significant changes occurred in the areas oflife safety,
such as handrails, smoke removal, accommodations for tile handicapped, also new tables on
lumber species, stresses, connections, etc.
1994 will see a new edition of the UBC with the reflection of the last three years of updated
code changes.
Conference Headquarters is also seeking a merger of IAPMO into the organization as a
subsidiary, as in the IFCI presently, with a view of eventually merging all model codes (ICBO,
BOCAI and SBCCI) into an International Uniform Code,
