This bill amends the Building Construction Act by adding new provisions regarding inspection records related to building permits. Specifically, it defines "authorized inspector" and "inspection records," clarifying that authorized inspectors are credentialed individuals or third-party inspectors, while inspection records include the results of inspections, including reasons for any failures. The bill mandates that any state agency, county, city, or village requiring an inspection as part of a building permit must utilize an authorized inspector and make the inspection records publicly available, provided the structure is still standing at the time of the request.

Additionally, the bill harmonizes existing provisions and repeals the original section 71-6401 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024. The changes aim to enhance transparency in the building inspection process by ensuring that the results of inspections are accessible to the public, thereby promoting accountability in construction practices.
