Bill > HB422

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act to establish a trainee classification for individuals seeking certification as building inspectors. The trainee classification is optional and allows trainees to learn the duties of a certified inspector under the direct supervision of a sponsor who is certified in the relevant inspection category. The bill limits the trainee classification to a two-year period for residential and accessibility inspections, and a three-year period for other inspection categories. It also prohibits trainees from conducting inspections unless accompanied by a certified inspector.
