Building code law for temporary movie sets amended

(The Center Square) – Eleven bills, including one involving the motion picture industry, were signed into law on Monday by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper.

Two originated in the Senate, and nine came from the House of Representatives.

The bill involving movie sets also included changes to statutes involving radon program proficiency and the Department of Health and Human Sciences and licensure for plumbing and heating.

House Bill 782 amended General Statute 143-138(b20) to “exempt from use and occupancy classification” under the state building code any “buildings used for temporary motion picture, television, and theater stage sets and scenery.” Previously, even if used for less than a year, the fire code inspector examined it.

The legislation also included law for DHHS on adopting temporary and permanent radon proficiency program approval rules, rulemaking authority and transitional provisions, and changes to acceptable experience for Class II plumbing and heating qualifications.
