ICC 500 2020 2nd ballot draft.pdf — A draft of the ICC 500 with revisions in legislative text (download here):
This document is intended to allow you to see changes in the context of the whole standard, and how several changes to the same section have been combined. In front of each section is a list of the change proposal that made revisions to that section. This document includes all the revisions voted in by the committee during the first meeting (September, 2018 through October, 2019) and the 2nd meeting (February, 2020 through June, 2020) and is shown in legislative (strike out exiting text to remove/underline new text) format. Red text is the further modifications made by the committee based on public comments. Further public comments should be limited to the red text or directly correlated requirements. (Note: The purpose of the red text is different from the first round)
If you would like a copy of “ICC 500 Public Input Agenda with public comments Report of Committee Actions from First Draft Final.pdf – The Public Input Agenda with the public comments – Report of Committee Actions,” please email Ben Harris at [email protected].
Public comments must reference specific proposals in this document. At the beginning of the document is a table of the proposals and the committee action. This includes each of the proposals with public comments and the first committee action, the public comments, and the report of the final committee action for the public comments.
The work group recommendations and notes that were used for the meetings have been removed. If you would like this information, it is included in the meeting report for the June 10, 2020 call. You can find this on the Storm shelter page on the ICC website at https://www.iccsafe.org/products-and-services/standards-development/is-stm/.

Many interested parties participated in multiple committee and work group calls over the past year. I wanted you all to know how valuable your involvement in this process is. Thank you.
