Exterior Elevated Elements
Governor Edmond G. Brown Jr. approved SB 465 (Hill) in response
to the June 16, 2015 balcony failure that occurred in
Berkeley, California. California Building Standards Commission
(CBSC) formed an Exterior Elevated Elements (EEE) Subcommittee as
this balcony failure resulted in serious injuries and
fatalities. The purpose of this subcommittee is to review
reports and other information regarding failures of this type and
to possibly make regulatory or statutory recommendations to the
CBSC and/or state agencies that have authority to amend the
California Building Standards Code (Cal. Code Regs., Title
24).
