PRELIMINARY PROVISIONS Short title This act shall be known and may be cited as the Pennsylvania CONSTRUCTION Code Act. Legislative findings and purpose (a) FINDINGS. The General Assembly finds as follows: (1) Many municipalities within this Commonwealth have no CONSTRUCTION codes to provide for the protection of life, health, property and the environment and for the safety and welfare of the consumer, general public and the owners and occupants of buildings and structures. Consumers and occupants may be at risk from substandard CONSTRUCTION . (2) Likewise, in some regions of this Commonwealth a multiplicity of CONSTRUCTION codes currently exist and some of these codes may contain cumulatively needless requirements which limit the use of certain materi-als, techniques or products and lack benefits to the public.
