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 a building permit after it has been issued. Under this new provision, if a permit holder requests changes, the department may impose additional modifications, but only under specific conditions. These conditions include that the additional changes must not introduce new requirements unrelated to the requested changes, the department cannot revisit any previously approved aspects of the permit, and the department must notify the permit holder of any requested changes within 10 days of the request.
Furthermore, the bill clarifies that a request for changes to a building permit does not restart the application process, ensuring that the permit holder can proceed without unnecessary delays. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 5933.
