State Building Standards Law allows for the emergency rulemaking process and requires submission of proposed emergency building standard(s) to CBSC for adoption and/or approval. Once approved by CBSC, emergency building standards must be made permanent within 180 days via the Certifying Rulemaking process pursuant to Government Code Section 11346.1.
