Open questions from the research
- Legislation/Fire Marshal rule text for 2027 code not found on a state page.
- No direct state page fetched confirming current 2006 IFC; baseline relied on.
- K.A.R. text seen only on Cornell LII mirror, so status stays lead; ksrevisor.gov copy not opened.
- State Fire Marshal economic impact statement (undated, 2020 budget stamps) mentions moving from 2006 to 2018 code; no adopted rule found. First pass cites a 2027 2024-IFC code from news only; no state page found.
