The order also states that the state of Alabama and its citizens “need to be provided with administrative regulations that contain all the requirements for the construction or installation of all storm shelters located in one consolidated location.”
The task force will include appointed representatives from the Alabama Building Commission, Manufactured Housing Commission, State Fire Marshal, Board of Architects, Board of Engineers and Land Surveyors and General Contractors Board.
The order states that the task force should submit recommended regulations to Bentley no later than April 30.
