Why Specifications Are Becoming the Next Critical Layer of #Construction Compliance

While drawings express what the building should be, specs define how it gets built, including performance criteria, quality standards, & installation methods. - @upcodes

Free, unfettered law is kryptonite for code publishers.

UpCodes has been defending the right to read and speak the law for almost a decade now.

We reflect here about the many lawsuits we've successfully defended. And the publishers' push in Congress.

Article covering the recent "contentious hearing" this week on the Pro Codes Act by @mlexclusive

After failing in the courts to stop the law being given away for free, publishers are turning to congress to try to get a monopoly over the law itself. 🤢

Congrats to @IntlCodeCouncil on another record revenue year. 🤑

More proof that you don't need a monopoly on the law itself to be extremely profitable. 😌

PRO CODES? More Like No Codes. ➡️ Our joint letter with @ARLnews and other allies analyzes the flaws of the bill - below are quick takeaways on why the legislation goes against American's fundamental rights: https://t.co/qCrhJLVvYm

[Re:Create Coalition @recreateco]

The Pro Codes Act would give unprecedented control over the laws and standards that protect consumers. @ARL's Katherine Klosek and @Upcodes's Garret Reynolds break down how this bill would restrict access to the law and harm consumers: https://t.co/HwMlJX45tb

@alexisxrivas @jasonc_nc Not being able to even quote the law raises serious Free Speech concerns, which is why freedom of the press organizations are opposing the Pro Codes Act, which aims to allow private ownership of the law.

[UpCodes @upcodes]

@alexisxrivas @jasonc_nc Yup, unaccountable law makers. And as if that weren't enough and their ever-increasing revenues (check 990s) weren't enough; they are hell-bent on having a monopoly over the law after it becomes binding on citizens (so you need their permission to even quote it).

Legal compliance shouldn’t come with a paywall.
