The bill would change the National Building Code so that protecting historic buildings becomes a required part of getting building permits, doing construction, and even demolishing structures. It would make architects and engineers certify that a project does not affect a heritage site—or, if it does, that they have secured clearance from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts—before any work can proceed.
