Please use caution: This email was generated outside of HCC.

Usually lurking, but...I was just looking similar things up for a client also in Maryland. As near as I can tell, you are subject to the following (with respect to the theater seating, even if only peripherally):

Amended version of the 2015 International Building Code
Maryland Rehabilitation Code (COMAR 05.16.01, 2009 IBC) - Maybe, depending on AHJ opinion and methodology?
2014 National Electrical Code
2015 Life Safety Code (NFPA 101)
Maryland Accessibility Code (COMAR 05.02.02)
Maryland Fire Prevention Code (COMAR 29.06.01-29.06.16, Uniform Fire Code - NFPA 1)

Welcome to the rabbit hole(s). I hope this helps, and I'm happy to help further if needed.

Hello,
      I’m looking for some info on current seating codes and regs for my area. Maybe someone out there can point me in the right direction. And please don’t tell me ask a theater consultant. The boss has already said we aren’t doing that until the design process. But, apparently he wants to put this info in the RFQ.

      ARGH! Putting some carts before the horses in this case.

I know we have Life Safety Code 101. That’s always a given for me. But, I have no idea where to look for some of the other things that may be specific to my area.

Thanks for any help you might give me,
