Existing law establishes that certain interim provisions, pending the evaluation of straw bales as a construction material through the normal processes used for the testing and listing of building materials, the determination of construction standards, and the adoption of those materials and construction standards into the California Building Standards Code, shall become inoperative when building standards take effect that permit construction using baled straw as a loadbearing or nonloadbearing material.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the provisions described above relating to the operation of laws regulating construction using baled straw.
