EB 46-16	[BS] 706.1
[BS] 706.3
(New) 706.3
(New) 706.3.1
(New) 706.3.1.1
	Modifies Section [BS] 706.1 “General”, [BS] 706.2 “Structural and construction loads”. Deletes [BS] 706.3 “Recovering versus replacement”. Adds new section 706.3 “Roof replacement”, 706.3.1 “Roof recover”, 706.3.1.1 “Exceptions”. This proposal is simply editorial and matches the IEBC Reroofing sections with the IBC.  Section 706 was added to the IEBC last code cycle by EB23-13 which copied Section 1510 from the 2012 IBC into the IEBC. However, revisions to the IBC Section that had also been approved last code cycle were not included. This proposal makes IEBC Section 706 identical to IBC Section 1511. ("Reroofing" was Section 1510 in the 2012 IBC, and is Section 1511 in the 2015 IBC.)

Cost Impact: Will not increase the cost of construction
Since this proposal is intended to be editorial to coordinate the IEBC reroofing sections with the IBC there will be no increase in the cost of construction
	This change is not similar to that of the FEBC. The FEBC provides for Florida specific changes to this section	Overlapping provision to be considered during step 2 of the code change process
