CURRENT STATUS OF THE 2012 IECC IMPLEMENTATION
Senate Bill 3724 (Public Act 097-1033), signed by the Governor on August 17, 2012, amends the implementation date of the 2012 IECC to January 1, 2013. It would also lengthen the time the Board has to review and adopt future published editions of the Code and make them effective. This would allow stakeholders more time for training and preparation to build, design, and enforce the future updated codes.
Administrative Rules to adopt the 2012 IECC with amendments were filed with the Secretary of State, May 4th, 2012 in
Issue 18 of the Illinois Register. The 2009 IECC will stay in effect until January 1, 2013 or until the rules process is complete whichever is later.
