Summary
Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that a building inspector who performs inspections or examinations under the provisions may be credentialed through a nationally or state-recognized inspection certification or apprenticeship program approved by the United States Department of Labor in the discipline the inspector is inspecting or examining (rather than through an nationally or state-recognized building certification or apprenticeship program that is equivalent to the International Code Council approved by the United States Department of Labor in the area the building inspector is inspecting or examining). In the Counties Code, provides that a "building inspector" does not include an employee of the Office of the State Fire Marshal acting in the employee's capacity as an employee of the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Provides that building inspectors may have a grace period of 2 years (rather than 18 months) from the date of hire or January 1, 2027, whichever is later, to acquire the required certification or credentials. Provides that building inspectors employed by a municipality or county on or before January 1, 2026 who have 5 years or more experience working as a building inspector are not subject to the provisions.
