As directed by HB368 and SB195 (2024), the Board of Housing and Community Development convened a Single-staircase Advisory Group to provide recommendations for allowing a single stair exit for Group R-2 buildings up to six stories in height. The final report of the Advisory Group included a recommendation to convene a special workgroup (DHCD Study Group) during the 2024 Code Development Cycle to continue discussing this topic. This is not a meeting of the Board of Housing and Community Development.
