Ch. 5

[6-402.]

[(c) (2)] (B) In counties or municipalities that [have] HAD not adopted a
building code as of October 1, 1992, the MARYLAND BUILDING PERFORMANCE
Standards shall apply to all buildings and structures for which a building permit
application [is] WAS received by the local jurisdiction on or after August 1, 1997.

[(3)] (C) In counties or municipalities that [have] HAD adopted the
standard building code as of October 1, 1993, the MARYLAND BUILDING
PERFORMANCE Standards shall apply to all buildings and structures for which a
building permit application [is] WAS received by the local jurisdiction on or after
August 1, 2001.

[(4)] (D) [(i)] (1) If the Department OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT [has] HAD not provided funding to a county or municipality to cover
all direct and reasonable costs necessary for converting or establishing local systems
to implement the MARYLAND BUILDING PERFORMANCE Standards, then the
provisions of this [subsection] SECTION shall be void and without effect as to the
particular county or municipality until the time that the needed funds [are] WERE
made available by the Department OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

[(ii)] (2) [1.] (I) In this [paragraph] SUBSECTION, "costs" means
expenses associated with hardware, software, training, technical assistance, or other
direct expenses that a county or municipality incurs to implement the MARYLAND
BUILDING PERFORMANCE Standards.

[2.] (II) In this [paragraph] SUBSECTION, "costs" does not
include expenses that a county or municipality would incur without implementation
of the MARYLAND BUILDING PERFORMANCE Standards.

[(5)] (E) A local jurisdiction may implement and enforce the Maryland
Building Performance Standards and any local amendment on or before the dates
specified in this [subsection] SECTION for application of the MARYLAND BUILDING
PERFORMANCE Standards.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 83B, §§ 6-401(i) and
6-402(c)(2), (3), (4), and (5).

Former Art. 83B, §§ 6-401(i) and 6-402(c)(2), (3), (4), and (5) provided
effective dates in 1992 and 1993 for implementation of the Maryland
Building Performance Standards, required the Department of Housing and
Community Development to provide funding to implement the Standards,
and defined a relevant term. These provisions are obsolete because the
effective dates for implementation of the Standards have passed and the
Department confirms that all local jurisdictions have implemented the
Standards. These dates, however, have historical significance, e.g.,
providing information as to whether an existing building or structure was
subject to the Standards at the time of building permit application. The
provisions, therefore, are transferred to the Session Laws.

The only changes are in style.
