    Here are the amended codes for IRC rise and run here in Connecticut. R311.7.5.1 Risers. The maximum riser height shall be 8 ¼ inches. The riser shall be measured vertically between leading edges of adjacent treads. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than ⅜ inch. Risers shall be vertical or sloped from the underside of the nosing of the tread above at an angle not more than 30 degrees from the vertical. Open risers are permitted provided that the opening between treads does not permit the passage of a 4-inch-diameter sphere. Exceptions: 1. The maximum riser height of existing stairs serving existing unfinished attics or existing unfinished basements being converted to habitable space or replacement stairs where the pitch or slope cannot be reduced because of existing construction shall be 9 inches, measured in accordance with Section R311.7.5.1. 2. The opening between adjacent treads is not limited on stairs with a total rise of 30 inches or less. R311.7.5.2 Treads. The minimum tread depth shall be 9 inches. The tread depth shall be measured horizontally between the vertical planes of the foremost projection of adjacent treads and at a right angle to the tread’s leading edge. The greatest tread depth within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than ⅜ inch. Exception: The minimum tread depth of existing stairs serving existing unfinished attics or existing unfinished basements being converted to habitable space or replacement stairs within existing dwellings shall be 8 inches, measured in accordance with Section R311.7.5.2.

    Looking ahead to the 2018 IRC, which will soon be in effect here in CT, they have changed up the king stud requirements in comparison to the requirements of the 2015 IRC. https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IRC2018/chapter-6-wall-construction#IRC2018_Pt03_Ch06_SecR602

    Joe, upcodes is a great resource for codes, they tell you what code is currently in effect and their books include state amendments as well. https://up.codes/codes/california
