Bill > HB1089

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act to establish a trainee classification for individuals seeking certification as inspectors. The trainee classification is optional, and trainees must be sponsored by individuals certified in the relevant inspection categories. Trainees can learn the duties of certified inspectors under the direct supervision of their sponsors, but they cannot conduct inspections unless accompanied by a certified inspector. The bill also authorizes the Department to set fees, application procedures, and other regulations for the trainee classification system, and requires the Department to list trainees on its public website.
