Right now, building code publishers are attempting to copyright the law. For the last 20 years, these publishers have tried (and failed) to copyright the law in the courts. Now, they are turning to Congress to pass the Pro Codes Act. It’s a deceptively written bill that is drafted to sound like it enhances public access to the law, but it does the opposite. It restricts access to the law and aims to give the publishers a monopoly over it. We believe everyone should have free and unfettered access to the laws that govern our built environment. And we're not alone in our opposition. A broad coalition of public interest groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Association of Research Libraries, American Foundation for the Blind, Wikimedia Foundation, American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, and many more oppose this bill. Contact your reps today and help keep the law free forever. Emailing your reps takes less than 1 minute through the form on our site (link in comments). #ProCodesAct #FreeLaw #BuildingCodes

?? This podcast episode gives construction people food for thought and a very interesting discussion about Construction Codes. ?? One specific part of the conversation gave me a click: ?? “The interesting thing is the codes are actually written by volunteers. So these are industry professionals, government workers donating their time to actually write the code and put proposals in there. The nonprofits are just convening the committees to do that. But despite that, they gather up and they put that into a book and sell it right back to those same volunteers that just volunteered their time to actually write the code. So it is a very, very bizarre part of the legal system we have here in the US.” ?What are the impacts of these decisions on Education, as well, where students can't afford to buy these codes, and these institutions want to charge University Libraries a fortune for standards and codes?

Seems we're not the only startup fighting against powerful groups trying to gain a monopoly through regulatory capture. ??
It's time for New York State to double down on its clean energy goals, and do the little things to make it so much easier for New Yorkers to put solar on their roofs and home batteries in their garage: "Interconnection reform to lower the cost of connecting new solar and energy storage projects to the electric system; streamlining permitting for rooftop and community-scale projects; and targeted incentives for solar projects that minimize land use impacts and reduce electric bills for low-income New Yorkers."
