RE: Bill 270; Ramseyer Format Version of Amendments to International
Building Code 2006 Edition
Bill 270 repeals Chapter 5 of the Hawaii County Code (Building), and provides a new
Chapter 5, which in part adopts the International Building Code 2006 Edition (IBC), with
certain amendments. Those amendments are cleanly incorporated into Bill 270, as they
would appear in the County Code should Bill 270 be enacted as an ordinance.
Amendments to the IBC, as provided in Section 2 of Bill 270 (codified as article 3,
section 5 -71 of the County Code), are indicated below via Ramseyer format. This
Ramseyer format version of the amendments is provided for illustrative purposes only.
NOTE: Chapter 11 of the IBC is proposed for repeal in its entirety to be replaced with
new language (Item (14) herein). Chapter 11 consists of roughly 13 pages of text that
have not been added to this document as bracketed and stricken through. For reference to
Chapter 11, please see pages 235 -247 of the IBC.
Similarly, Item (24) herein repeals IBC Section 1705, which contains nearly two pages of
text. Section 1705 has also been omitted from this document. Please see IBC pages 336-
338 for the full text of Section 1705.
The amendments to the International Building Code 2006 Edition, as contained in
Section 2 of Bill 270, read as follows (material to be deleted is bracketed and stricken
through; material to be added is underscored):
