18928.1
. Building standards adopted or approved by the commission
shall incorporate the text of the model codes, applicable national
specifications, or published standards, in whole or in part, only by
reference, with appropriate additions or deletions therefrom. The
commission may elect to adopt or approve standards which incorporate,
in whole or in part, the text of these publications, with changes
therein, or deletions therefrom, directly incorporated into the text
of the California Building Standards Code, but no textual material
contained in any of the model codes, as enumerated in Section 18916,
may be included in the California Building Standards Code by means
other than incorporation by reference, unless the commission and the
governing body of the organization that publishes the model codes
first reach a written agreement concerning the terms and conditions
of the publication, including, but not limited to, whether the
publication will be by the commission or the model code organization,
or both. The model code governing body may not withhold any
publication agreement on the basis of the substantive provisions
contained in the California Building Standards Code.
