Bill > SB00527

This bill proposes to modify existing state law to allow builders to hire private licensed building inspectors instead of relying solely on municipal building inspectors. Under the proposed change, a builder can now engage a private, licensed inspector to conduct a building inspection and submit a report directly to the municipality. Once the report is submitted, it will be automatically considered approved by the municipal authorities. This legislation essentially provides builders with more flexibility in the inspection process by giving them the option to use a private professional inspector rather than being required to use a municipal building inspector. The bill aims to potentially streamline the building inspection process, reduce municipal workload, and offer builders an alternative path to meeting building code and safety requirements through qualified private sector professionals.
