recommendation under paragraph (5), or that the council does
not recommend the exclusion of any provision of the triennial
code revisions for commercial buildings.

purpose of this act or is otherwise inappropriate for
inclusion in the Uniform Construction Code. In making a
recommendation, the council shall examine all triennial code
revisions applying all of the following criteria:
(i) The impact that the provision may have upon the
health, safety and welfare of the public.
(ii) The economic and financial impact of the
provision.
(iii) The technical feasibility of the provision.
