Unsurprisingly, IAPMO announced that its first meeting to review the plumbing code and mechanical code changes will be held virtually. Rather than holding the meeting during the first week of May, the meetings will be split — each five days long — with plumbing being held the first week of May, and mechanical being held the third week of May. The meetings will be four hours in length going from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. PDT.
While it is disappointing that COVID-19 stole another in-person code hearing, at least it will open up the process for others to participate. Rather than traveling to Anaheim, California, you can sit in front of your computer and watch — or participate — in the code change process.
