AUGUSTA – Following the lead of the Senate, Maine’s House on Monday voted to adopt a statewide building code for homes.

The bill, LD 1025, passed by a lopsided 113-24 vote after representatives debated and defeated an amendment to the measure. The bill still faces further House and Senate votes.

It would establish a residential building code that towns could adopt voluntarily. Supporters say about 80 Maine towns and cities already have codes.
