Default Basement egress

It seems that there was a law passed that required new homes built to
have an egress window in the basement. I recall when my wife was going
to have a daycare in our old home basement, the inspector said we would
have to create an exit through one of the windows.

My question; is this true? My new home does not have this. The homes
to the East of me which were built first do not, those to the West do,
and the one going up across the street also has one.

Are they expensive to put in? If I complete my basement, are they going
to require that I put one in?
