House Bill 2439 amends the Government Code to prohibit a governmental entity from adopting or enforcing a rule, charter provision, ordinance, order, building code, or regulation that either:
· directly or indirectly restricts the use or installation in a residential or commercial building of a building product or material that is approved for use by a certain applicable and recent national model code; or
