Trying to get some thoughts on this topic as to the best approach.
We will be adopting either the 2018 or 2021 Building codes from the 2015 cycle most likely in the next six months. The 2015 amendments were most likely done by a fire department person. (Not judging). Its clear that the changes made were never fully thought out and on top of this I am in Illinois. So, for those of you who do not know what that means, Illinois has there own Illinois Plumbing Code as well as their own Accessibility Code. No really, not copies of say the International Plumbing Code but their very own poorly written and developed codes. So, I can amend out every occurance of "Internatioanl Plumbing Code and replace with "most current Illinois Plumbing Code" but this still leave specific references to say P2904 of the IRC or similar, which are many. But replace with what, simply "Illinois Plumbing Code" or should I try and dig out the Illinois Plumbing Code section "Section 890.1040 of the Illinois Plumbing Code" ??????? It also makes it interesting that in the IRC amendments we have amended chapters 25 through 43 out completely. Including everything fire sprinkler and some other information not found in the Illinois Plumbing Code as well as all electrical because we adopt the NEC.
Just looking for thoughts.
