The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 326B.107, to modify the process for municipal agreements regarding building code administration. In subdivision 2, the language is updated to replace "inspectors" with "persons" and "code enforcement staff," clarifying that municipalities must have adequately trained and qualified personnel under contract to provide code enforcement services. Additionally, the bill establishes a process for municipalities to address deficiencies identified by the commissioner, allowing them to request reconsideration of the commissioner's determination within 90 days.

Subdivision 3 introduces a new provision for municipalities to enter into agreements for plan review, code administration, and code enforcement specifically for "reserved projects" on public buildings and state-licensed facilities. These reserved projects include various types of maintenance and upgrades, such as roof covering replacements, HVAC unit replacements, and accessibility upgrades, provided the municipality has a designated building official as required by section 326B.133. This amendment aims to streamline the process for municipalities to manage certain building projects while ensuring compliance with state regulations.
