South Dakota Legislature Introduces Voluntary 2009 IECC Residential Standard
On January 24, a bill (SB 94) was introduced in the South Dakota Legislature that would adopt the 2009 IECC as a voluntary energy standard for new residential construction (the current 2006 IECC voluntary standard was passed in 2009). The bill would also accordingly update the state’s required disclosure form for prospective homebuyers regarding information about the energy efficiency of the new residential building.
On January 31, the bill passed the Senate unanimously. The House approved SB 94 on February 28, which will now go to the desk of Gov. Dennis Daugaard for his signature or veto.
