Cal. Civ. Code § 8-2-24.1
Review of denial of proposed amendment, modification, or new provision to code.
Operative Text
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (d) of Code Section 8-2-24, when any party has proposed an amendment, modification, or new provision to a state minimum standard code and the same has not received a favorable recommendation by the advisory committee, the aggrieved party may within 30 days after notification by the department of the advisory committee’s action file an appeal with the board. Not more than 60 days after receiving such appeal, the board shall make a determination whether to deny the appeal or to review the proposed amendment, modification, or new provision and make a determination on the same pursuant to Code Section 8-2-23.
Under O.C.G.A. § 8-2-24.1, when a proposed change to a Georgia state minimum standard building code—whether an amendment, modification, or entirely new provision—fails to receive a favorable recommendation from the relevant advisory committee, the party who submitted the proposal has a defined window to challenge that outcome. Specifically, the aggrieved party may file an appeal with the board within 30 days of receiving the department's notification of the advisory committee's decision. Once the appeal is filed, the board must act within 60 days, either denying the appeal outright or agreeing to review the proposed change and issue a ruling under the procedures set out in Code Section 8-2-23.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners, developers, or industry groups who submit proposed changes to Georgia's state minimum standard codes under O.C.G.A. § 8-2-24.1 should be aware that an unfavorable advisory committee recommendation is not necessarily final. Compliant participants in this process typically track the date of the department's notification carefully, since the 30-day window to file a board appeal is strictly defined. Those who engage in the code-amendment process generally maintain documentation of their original proposal and the committee's action to support any subsequent board review.

While O.C.G.A. § 8-2-24.1 primarily governs the administrative process for amending Georgia's state minimum standard building codes, tenants living in housing subject to those codes have an indirect stake in how those standards evolve. If a proposed code change that could affect housing conditions is rejected by an advisory committee, this provision establishes the appeal pathway that any aggrieved party—including tenant advocacy organizations—may use to seek board review. Tenants interested in how minimum housing standards are set or changed may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Georgia's building code administrative process.
