In March of 2025, the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission (OUBCC) Technical committees were formed to review each section of the 2024 IFC (International Fire Code). The committee’s recommendations were reviewed and approved by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission and the Commission set out for adoption of the 2024 ICC Codes with various modifications and the NFPA 2023 National Electrical Code. The adoption of these codes was approved by legislative action in 2026, signed by Governor Stitt and will be effective state-wide on September 14, 2026.
