      STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 318.130, EO 2009-535

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 318.130 requires the Office of Housing, Buildings, and Construction to promulgate administrative regulations which put into effect a State Plumbing Code. Additionally, KRS 318.130 authorizes the office to adopt reasonable rules or administrative regulations, after review by the State Plumbing Code Committee, to administer KRS Chapter 318. EO 2009-535, effective June 12, 2009, reorganized the Office of Housing, Buildings and Construction as the Department of Housing, Buildings, and Construction, and established the commissioner, rather than executive director, as the head of the department. This administrative regulation establishes quarterly reviews of the Division of Plumbing's budget and fee schedule by the State Plumbing Code Committee.
