<div dir="auto">Somewhere I have an article on this - perhaps Protocol.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The jurisdiction - town, city, county, or state typically - has building officials and authorities having jurisdiction who can enforce laws. Typically the building official enforces building codes - which includes accessibility - and fire service enforces fire codes. Some jurisdictions combine these in one department.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Any law is a result of legislative action. Typically jurisdictions adopt - by legislation - a model code. The International Building Code, International Fire Code, and Life Safety Code are common. Those codes reference many standards, ones overseen by ANSI, ASTM, NFPA, ICC, and too many to recall. Not all ANSI standards are referenced, just those referenced by codes.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">In addition to the above, feds have regulations that might be enforced. OSHA and ADA are two. Many others. Many are enforced by DOJ.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">That tries to explain enforcement if that is what you mean by regulation. the development of the codes and standards - adopted into law or not - is a different issue, and the role of those not made law, an entirely different subject.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Hope there is some help there.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 16, 2021, 1:47 PM Scott Parker via Stagecraft <<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi All,</div><div>I'm working on a spreadsheet resource and I have a column that could use input.
