Statewide Adoption
A statewide adoption means that building codes are enforced uniformly across the entire
state. The state government adopts and mandates compliance with specific building,
residential, plumbing, and electrical codes. Local jurisdictions must follow these codes
without making significant amendments, ensuring consistency in construction regulations
across the state.
