PRC §25402.3: For purposes of subdivision (e) of Section 25402.

For purposes of subdivision (e) of Section 25402.1, the commission shall contract with California building officials to establish two regional training centers to provide continuing education for local building officials and enforcement personnel as follows: (a) One site shall be located in northern California and one site shall be located in southern California to serve the needs of the respective regions. (b) The centers shall provide training on a monthly basis to ensure a uniform understanding and implementation of the energy efficient building standards. Existing resources shall be used as much as possible by utilizing members of the building official community in training activities. (c) The centers shall provide similar training sessions, in the form of workshops given in designated rural areas, to ensure that adequate training is available throughout the state. (1) A minimum of two workshops in northern California and two workshops in southern California shall be offered each year. (2) The sites shall be selected to ensure the greatest number of participants will be served in areas of greatest need to decrease the financial burden on small rural or isolated local government agencies that would not be able to travel to the regional training centers for instruction.
