Bill > S1554

This bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 152 of the Acts of 1997 to clarify which state entity is responsible for electrical oversight of the convention center. Previously, the "division of inspection of the department of public safety" held sole responsibility for inspection, enforcement, permitting, and licensure related to the project under specific state laws and regulations. This bill changes that language to state that the "department of public safety" itself will be responsible for these duties, specifically concerning projects authorized by the "state building code," which is defined in Section 1 of Chapter 143 of the General Laws, or other related state laws and regulations. Essentially, it streamlines the responsibility for electrical oversight to the broader department rather than a specific division within it.
