AI Summary

This bill reorganizes and clarifies oversight of various inspections within state government, primarily by consolidating responsibilities under the Department of Public Safety and establishing three distinct divisions: building inspection, elevator inspection, and engineering inspection. It removes references to outdated or consolidated entities like the "department of inspection and regulation" and the "division of inspection," and reassigns their functions to the Department of Public Safety. The bill also specifies that each of these new divisions will be led by a chief appointed by the commissioner, who must have expertise in their respective fields, and clarifies the titles of inspectors within these divisions.
