Public Act 096-0704 states that all new commercial construction after July 1, 2011 must comply with the 2006 or later editions of the International Building Code; International Existing Building Code; International Property Maintenance Code and the 2008 or later edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). This Act also requires that newly constructed commercial buildings must pass an inspection conducted by an inspector meeting the qualifications established by CDB.

This includes, but is not limited to, the Illinois Plumbing Code, the Illinois Environmental Barriers Act, the Illinois Accessibility Code, the Illinois Energy Conservation Code, and administrative rules adopted by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (including the NFPA Life Safety Code 2000 Edition).
