Handrail extension at the bottom of the stair
The IBC and CBC has updated the section 1014.6 regarding the handrail extension at the bottom of the stair to: "…to slope for the depth of one tread beyond the bottom riser."
However, for those of you working in California, please note that Section 11A still has the old requirement: "…extension of handrail shall be equal to the tread width plus 12”."
