House Bill No. by Representative Gadberry enacts a new provision under R.S. 40:1730.23(K) concerning the enforcement of building codes by municipalities and parishes in Louisiana. The bill mandates that any municipality or parish issuing a construction permit must conduct inspections and permit roofing and reroofing for all buildings, excluding one- and two-family dwellings, in accordance with the International Building Code Chapter 15. Additionally, it requires that one- and two-family dwellings also comply with the International Residential Code Chapters 8 and 9.

This legislation aims to ensure that all roofing and reroofing work meets established safety and construction standards, thereby enhancing the overall integrity of building practices within the state. By specifying the codes that must be adhered to, the bill seeks to streamline the permitting process and improve compliance with state construction regulations.
