§ 18920 Building Standards Commission

• •There is a group called the California Building Standards Commission.
• •This group has 11 people: one is the Secretary of Government Operations, and the other 10 are chosen by the Governor and approved by the Senate.
• •This group makes sure buildings in California are safe and follow the rules.

If you want to build a new house, you have to follow certain rules to make sure it's safe.

The California Building Standards Commission is the group that makes these rules. They decide things like how strong the walls need to be or where the fire exits should go.
