Minnesota's Special Requirements

This short chapter of the Minnesota State Building Code is mostly made up of provisions that were established by the legislature to address very specific conditions. It also contains a few requirements that were drafted by the division because they are not addressed in the model codes or because they are unique to Minnesota. Examples of the subjects regulated include garage door opening system safety devices, bleacher safety, footing depth for frost protection, restroom parity in public accommodations among others.
