AI Summary
This bill allows the Department of Management Services (DMS) to establish state term contracts, which are pre-negotiated agreements with vendors, for building code inspection services and debris removal services. These services will be available to local governments during a state of emergency, such as those caused by natural disasters like hurricanes or floods. Additionally, the bill creates a provision allowing individuals to work as building code inspectors or in related roles for up to one year after a state of emergency is declared, provided they meet certain qualifications, such as having a contract with the state for these services, being qualified in another state with a mutual aid agreement, or holding a valid license in another state for at least five years.
