The bill amends RSA 155-A:7, III, which pertains to the enforcement authority of local agencies in charge of enforcing the state building code. The amendment includes a new provision, III-a, which explicitly states that the local enforcement agency does not have the authority to inspect owner-occupied units in residential multi-unit structures of four units or less.

The bill introduces an insertion in the existing law, clarifying that the local enforcement agency's authority to inspect buildings and structures is subject to exceptions provided in the section. The key insertion is the addition of provision III-a, which prohibits the inspection of certain owner-occupied units. There are no deletions mentioned in the provided text. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2024.
