N.J. Admin. Code § 5:23-4A.2

Current through Register Vol. 57, No. 1, January 6, 2025

Section 5:23-4A.2 - Findings; functions of the Commission

(a) The Department, as the administrative agency for the State of New Jersey under the Interstate Compact on Industrialized/Modular Buildings, finds that:

1. Industrialized/modular buildings are constructed in factories in various states and are a growing segment of the nation's affordable housing and commercial building stock.

2. The regulation of industrialized/modular buildings varies from state to state and from locality to locality. This creates confusion and burdens state and local building officials and the industrialized/modular buildings industry.

3. Regulation by multiple jurisdictions imposes additional costs that are ultimately borne by the owners and users of industrialized/modular buildings, that restrict market access and that discourage the development and incorporation of new technologies.

(b) The Industrialized Buildings Commission (IBC) shall:

1. Provide the states that regulate the design and construction of industrialized/modular buildings and building components with a system to coordinate and uniformly administer their rules and regulations for such buildings, all in a manner that will assure mutual acceptance of industrialized/modular buildings and building components; and

2. Provide to Congress assurances that would preclude the need for a voluntary preemptive Federal regulatory system for industrialized/modular housing, as outlined in Section 572 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, including development of model standards for industrialized/modular housing construction, such that design and performance will insure quality, durability and safety; will be in accordance with cost-effective energy conservation standards; and will promote the lowest total construction and operating costs over the life of such housing.
