The bill amends the Stille-DeRossett-Hale Single State Construction Code Act by adding a new section, 11a, which outlines the process for making changes to building permits after they have been issued. Under this new provision, if a permit holder requests changes, the department may impose additional modifications, but these must adhere to specific conditions. Notably, the department cannot introduce new requirements unrelated to the requested changes, nor can it revisit any part of the permit that has already been approved. Furthermore, the department is required to notify the permit holder of any requested changes within ten days of receiving the request, and no additional changes can be mandated after this period.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that a request for changes does not restart the application process for the permit, ensuring that the original timeline remains intact. The enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of three other specified bills from the 103rd Legislature.
