If the amendment has been adopted by a local government for local implementation and enforcement, and only effects single and multifamily buildings as defined by RCW 19.27.015, it is a final adoption amendment. If the amendment has been rejected by the Council, it is for reconsideration.

3. Provide the name of the local government proposing the code change.

4. Ordinance or resolution number and date official action was taken for local government residential amendment. Amendments affecting 1-4 unit residential buildings should be adopted contingent upon approval by the State Building Code Council.

6. Provide the name, address, and phone number of the contact person designated to work with the Council and staff to supply information on the proposed changes as needed.

7. The specific section for which an amendment is proposed should be listed. The entire section should be reproduced, including the proposed amendatory language.

All added words should be underlined, all deleted words should be struck through. Any separate new sections added should be inserted in the appropriate place in the code in order to continue the established numbering system of the code.
