DEPARTMENT OF LABOR & INDUSTRY
UCC UPDATE
JULY 14, 2005

The advisory on the Health Care Facilities Act (HCFA) has been amended, to reflect the fact that only Class B and Class C ambulatory surgical centers, and renal treatment centers providing in-patient services are covered under the HCFA.

The Advisory on Illegally Existing Buildings has been temporarily removed.

An advisory has been added to this website explaining how temporary structures should generally be treated under the UCC. Click here to access the Advisory on Temporary Structures.
