Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Building Construction Act; to amend section 71-6401, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to require certain inspection records be made available to the public; to harmonize provisions; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Building Construction Act to require that inspections conducted under the act must be performed by an "authorized inspector," which is defined as someone credentialed by the state, county, city, or village issuing permits, or a registered or licensed third-party inspector hired due to project requirements, but it excludes individuals inspecting their own work. The bill also mandates that "inspection records," meaning the pass/fail results and reasons for failure of inspections required by permitting entities, architectural scope, engineered scope, or warranty, must be made available to the public for structures that are still standing at the time of the request. This change aims to increase transparency in the building inspection process.
