(2) promote and protect public health, safety, and welfare;

(3) promote a positive business environment for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry; and

(4) demonstrate leadership as a progressive alternative energy state by ensuring that hydrogen and fuel cells are permitted on a consistent basis throughout the State and meet minimum standards of quality provided in the International Code Council's 2006 codes or the latest state-adopted version.
