§ 29-251a. Review of regulations.

Sec. 29-251a. Review of regulations. As used in this section, “program requirements” means any program or part of a program which is required by law. The Commissioner of Administrative Services, in consultation with the Codes and Standards Committee, shall conduct a review of existing regulations of each state agency to determine whether any provision of such regulations conflicts with the State Building Code, the Fire Safety Code, the State Fire Prevention Code or any other fire safety regulation adopted under this chapter. The commissioner shall make recommendations to the department head of any state agency which has regulations that are in conflict with the State Building Code, the Fire Safety Code, the State Fire Prevention Code or any other fire safety regulation adopted under this chapter for the amendment of such regulations so they no longer are in conflict with said codes or any such fire safety regulations. Not later than ninety days following receipt of such recommendations, the department head of such state agency shall initiate the process under chapter 54 to amend or repeal such regulation in order to bring such regulation into compliance with the State Building Code, the Fire Safety Code, the State Fire Prevention Code or any other fire safety regulation adopted under this chapter as the case may be, unless the amendment or repeal of such regulation would result in a conflict with the applicable agency's program requirements.
