written biennial notice of that determination must be submitted to the code -reviewing
body no later than October 1 of even -numbered years.

Interest Code. The process is initiated by direction of the code -reviewing body to the
agency, no later than July 1, 2024, to review its code. Subsequently, staff will begin the
