Section § 18630

Explanation

This law requires a state department to create rules for plumbing systems in parks to ensure safety and protection. The department must also propose new building standards for approval to support this effort. These standards are part of the California Building Standards Code. However, if a city or county has its own approved plumbing code and enforces it, those local rules will apply instead to plumbing in parks within their jurisdiction.

The department shall adopt regulations regarding plumbing in parks that it determines are reasonably necessary for the protection of life and property and to carry out the purposes of this part. The department shall propose and submit building standards for approval pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 for the purposes described in this section. The building standards published in the California Building Standards Code and the other regulations adopted by the department shall apply to all plumbing within permanent buildings, except a park in a city, county, or city and county that has adopted and is enforcing a plumbing code with amendments adopted pursuant to Section 17958.5 and which city, county, or city and county is the enforcement agency.
