81053
. (a) To ensure that community college districts are able to
effectively exercise the option of utilizing the Field Act or the
California Building Standards Code, as provided in Section 81052, and
construct buildings safely, cost effectively, and in a timely
manner, the Department of General Services shall develop and submit,
in consultation with the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges, by June 1, 2009, to the California Building
Standards Commission proposed building standards for adoption as part
of the California Building Standards Code that will govern the
construction, reconstruction, modification, or expansion of school
buildings of a community college district as provided in Section
81052, if the community college district elects not to utilize the
Field Act. The Department of General Services shall review and
include, where appropriate, in these standards the standards that
govern the California State University. The proposed building
standards shall provide for independent plan review and oversight to
be performed by the Department of General Services. The standards
shall become effective 30 days after adoption by the California
Building Standards Commission.
(b) The Department of General Services shall be responsible for
plan reviews consistent with Section 81133.
