Section 748:20-6-1 - Adoption of International Residential Code[®] 2018 (IRC[®] 2018)

(a) The Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission (the "OUBCC") hereby adopts the International Residential Code®, 2018 Edition (IRC® 2018) as amended and modified in this subchapter to be the statewide minimum code for residential construction within the State of Oklahoma for one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses pursuant to 59 O.S. § 1000.23.

(b) The OUBCC through formal action expressly chose to adopt the IRC® 2018 as amended and modified in this subchapter, as the statewide minimum code for residential construction in the State of Oklahoma. In like manner, the OUBCC through formal action expressly chose to not adopt the International Residential Code®, 2012 Edition (IRC® 2012) for any purpose.

(c) As part of its 2015 code cycle, the International Code Council, Inc.® (ICC®) reorganized the format of certain of its model codes as it was foreseeable to ICC® that additional appendices will need to be added in the future as model regulations for new processes or operations are developed. The format reorganization was designed by ICC® to accommodate such future appendices by providing reserved (unused) appendices in certain of its model codes as part of its 2015 code cycle. That format reorganization continues into the ICC's 2018 code cycle and is adopted by the OUBCC to the extent provided in this subchapter by the phrase "reserved for future use" inserted in lieu of titles for chapters.
