Section 1. Subsection (a) of section 8-13a of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2013):

For purposes of this section, "structure" shall have same meaning as in the zoning regulations for the municipality in which the structure is located or, if undefined by such regulations, the State Building Code.
