HB 859 -- RETENTION OF BUILDING OR TECHNICAL CODES

SPONSOR:  Dieckhaus

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Local Government by a vote of 13 to 0.

Currently, counties, fire protection districts, and
municipalities that adopt building or technical codes by
reference are required to file and keep three copies of the code
in their clerk's office.  This bill reduces the required number
of copies to one.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2010, FY 2011, and
FY 2012.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill will save
municipalities money as most of them have this information in an
electronic format.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Dieckhaus; and
Missouri Municipal League.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
