This bill amends the Stille-DeRossett-Hale Single State Construction Code Act by updating the procedures for issuing certificates of acceptability for premanufactured units intended for use in Michigan. The amendments require manufacturers to submit an application with detailed plans and specifications for approval, and the department must approve or deny the application within 30 days. If the department does not respond within this timeframe, the application is automatically considered approved. Additionally, the bill allows for inspections by both the department and local enforcing agencies to ensure compliance with the submitted plans.
Further changes include the establishment of submission procedures for plans reviewed by independent entities approved by the commission, and the clarification that objections to the use of a premanufactured unit must be communicated within 10 business days. The bill also specifies that a certificate of acceptability cannot be used for advertising purposes. Overall, these amendments aim to streamline the approval process while ensuring compliance with construction regulations.
