Bill > SB1784

This bill, amending Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 4 and Title 68, modifies regulations concerning building inspections. Specifically, it addresses the use of third-party inspectors for locally required building inspections. The key provision clarifies that if a person initially hires a third-party inspector for a specific locally required building inspection, they must continue to use a third-party inspector for any subsequent inspections directly related to that initial inspection. This does not obligate them to use a third-party inspector for entirely different, unrelated building inspections. This change is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to actions and conduct occurring on or after that date, with the public welfare cited as the reason for its urgency.
