For those interested, here's an article with some information about proposals for the 2024 IRC that I wrote last year for Fine Homebuilding.

Changes Proposed for the 2024 IRC - Fine Homebuilding

The 2024 International Residential Code is currently being developed, with the first hearing to consider proposals concluding in March 2022. The next step is for the proposals to receive public comment, which will be heard in Fall 2022.

I'm now working on an article for the Journal of Light Construction to share the preliminary results (hoping final action is released soon). Obviously, I'm choosing ones that I think are interesting and worth sharing to the building community, but if you are aware of a change you think is important to share to the public, please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks.

I like the idea of car chargers but by the time PA uses the 2024 codes most people would need to have them already.

Are the chargers likely to stay in IRC? I'm sure many jurisdictions will amend it out if it does stay in.

RB88-22 for car chargers is only the inclusion of mandatory standards, UL 2202 and UL 2594. "where provided". So not mandatory to provide, just that what's provided meets the standards. It was approved as submitted with no public comment.
 
Most places in PA you don't need a permit and inspection when installing a car charging station in a house and except in a few cities we don't require or have licensed electricians. It would be safer if it was required for new houses then it would be inspected and safer. They will need it sooner or later.
