Who establishes the statutory provisions for the Minnesota State Building Code?

The establishment of the statutory provisions for the Minnesota State Building Code is the responsibility of the state legislature. This body of elected officials creates and enacts laws that govern various aspects of state policy, including building codes. The legislature's role is to ensure that the building code meets the safety, health, and welfare needs of the public within the state.

Once the legislature lays down the legal framework, it may delegate the authority to enforce these codes to specific agencies or departments, such as the Department of Public Safety, but the initial establishment and any amendments to the code must come through legislative action. This process is crucial for maintaining a standardized and comprehensive approach to building safety and compliance throughout Minnesota.
