Bill Summary

A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Building Construction Act; to amend section 71-6401, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to allow virtual inspection for certain building permits as prescribed; to harmonize provisions; and to repeal the original section.

AI Summary

This bill, amending the Building Construction Act, allows for virtual inspections for certain building permits, meaning that instead of an inspector physically visiting a construction site, they can conduct inspections remotely using technology. This option is available for inspections of areas within single-family or two-family residential buildings that are less than three stories high and under ten thousand square feet, provided the permit holder has identified a licensed contractor for the work. For non-structural inspections, virtual inspections can even be conducted using video or photo documentation for reinspections, and the permitting entity is not required to publicly disclose the contractor's name when virtual inspections are used.
