Description

Season 7 of the ICC Pulse Podcast is here, and to kick things off we're exploring the ins and outs of the International Code Council's code development process – just in time for the 2025 Committee Action Hearings (April 27 - May 6, 2025)! Learn what the process entails, how it shapes the building safety codes we rely on and discover how you can get directly involved.

Our expert guests, including our very own Russ Manning and Beth Tubbs from the Code Council's Technical Services team, discuss the structure of a typical code cycle, where to access proposed code changes and why your participation in this process is so important.
