the BO higher authority to the BORPELS rules, I don't know either, but that
is sort of what I am wondering here.
Why does every plan check I get require a wet stamp/sign, when that is not
legally required and an electronic one is acceptable? It's not like this
rule is new.
When is the last time you saw a wet sign on truss calcs? I can't remember,
it doesn't happen often at all. I wonder why it is ok for them...most of the
time their signatures look like a grainy crayon tracing.
I have started attaching this page to my plan check responses...who knows.

I think a building official _can_ require that if he chooses. A municipality
can enforce more stringent _building standards_ than required by the State.
I am not sure if the same principle applies to BORPELS rules though.
