The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs will hold a public hearing to receive public
comments on proposed changes to the Part 7 Plumbing Code Rules rule set.
Part 7 of the Construction Code currently adopts by reference the 2018 edition of the International
Plumbing Code (IPC), which is based on plumbing principles used in plumbing codes across the country.
Part 7 also includes rules that amend the IPC that address plumbing practices that are specific to
Michigan and deletes those requirements in the IPC that do not pertain to Michigan because of the
State’s geographic and environmental features. The proposed rules will adopt by reference the 2018
edition of the IPC with amendments, deletions, and additions deemed necessary for use in Michigan.
The authority to promulgate the proposed rules is found in Section 4 of 1972 PA 230, MCL 125.1504 and
Executive Reorganization Order Nos. 1996-2, 2003-1, 2008-4, and 2011-4, MCL 445.2001, MCL
445.2011, MCL 445.2025, and MCL 445.2030. These rules will take effect Immediately after filing with
the Secretary of State. The rules are published on the Michigan Government web site at
