The CALBO Access Code Committee is responsible for reviewing and responding to proposed changes to state disabled access regulations. These proposed changes may come from DSA, HCD or members of the disabled community. On some occasions, CALBO will be the sponsor of proposed changes to the regulations. Committee members historically have also played a major role in preparing disabled access resources for members and serving as instructors in CALBO classrooms. Committee business is conducted through teleconferences. 

The CALBO Building & Fire Advisory Committee is jointly sponsored by CALBO and the California Fire Chiefs Association as a collaborative. Additionally, the State Fire Marshal and representatives from their office routinely participate in meetings. The charge of the committee is to explore opportunities to enhance the ongoing working relationship between Building Officials and Fire Officials at local and statewide levels. Committee membership is balanced equally between both organizations. The Committee typically meets three times annually for a one-day meeting.

The CALBO Legislative Committee reviews all policy proposals made by the full-time California State Legislature, examining potential impacts on building departments and local government. CALBO’s professional staff are a part of the Committee, assisting with the development of positions and strategy for desired outcomes. Committee business is conducted via teleconference throughout the year when the State Legislature is in session, oftentimes on short notice due to rapidly changing proposals and prevailing politics.

The charge the CALBO State Code Committee is to review state agency proposals for code changes and amendments. The work of the Committee includes the review of proposed amendments to the model codes, in addition to California state specific codes and coordination with local and statewide affiliated organizations. The State Code Committee may work with state agencies on amendments and take positions on the proposed amendments in the state Code Advisory Committee meetings when necessary. The State Code Committee Chair will coordinate with the Building Standards Commission’s Coordinating Council and membership on matters of importance to the CALBO membership. Depending on the number of proposed state amendments, the Committee may meet more frequently. Committee meetings are conducted via teleconference. 

The CALBO Training Institute (CTI) is the training and educational arm of CALBO. CTI’s core objective is to provide quality, peer oriented training on California-specific codes, regulations and management trends. Second to this, but of vital importance to CALBO, is a primary funding stream to provide membership benefits and services for the organization.  Participation as a CTI Commissioner involves approximately four, one-day meetings per year throughout the state.
