| CTC Continuing Work on Care Facilities and Elevator Lobbies Due to the duplicative nature of the Code Technology Committee (CTC) and Code Action Committees (CACs), the ICC Board of Directors came to the difficult decision to sunset the CTC by the end of the 2016 Code Development Cycle, and assign certain Areas of Study to the applicable CACs for the 2015 and 2016 cycles. The CTC will continue to work on care facilities and elevator lobbies for the 2015 and 2016 cycles. |
