     16B.73 State Building Code in municipalities under 
  2,500; local option. 

    The governing body of a municipality whose population is 
 less than 2,500 may provide that the State Building Code, except 
 the requirements for handicapped persons, the requirements for 
 bleacher safety, and the requirements for elevator safety, will 
 not apply within the jurisdiction of the municipality, if the 
 municipality is located in whole or in part within a county 
 exempted from its application under section 16B.72.  If more 
 than one municipality has jurisdiction over an area, the State 
 Building Code continues to apply unless all municipalities 
 having jurisdiction over the area have provided that the State 
 Building Code, except the requirements for handicapped persons, 
 the requirements for bleacher safety, and the requirements for 
 elevator safety, does not apply within their respective 
 jurisdictions.  Nothing in this section precludes a municipality 
 or town from adopting and enforcing by ordinance or other legal 
 means the State Building Code within its jurisdiction.
