Bill > S1260

This bill requires the Department of Management Services to establish and maintain state term contracts for building code inspection services, which are defined as services related to ensuring compliance with building codes. Additionally, it creates a new provision allowing individuals to work as building code inspectors or plans examiners for up to one year following a Governor-declared state of emergency, provided they meet certain qualifications such as being under a state term contract, being qualified in another state with a mutual aid agreement, or holding a valid license in another state for five years prior to the emergency declaration. This measure aims to expedite the availability of qualified personnel for essential building inspections during emergencies.
