The bill amends Section 36-16-30 of South Dakota law to revise the inspection fees for electrical installations. It introduces tiered fee structures based on ampere capacity for new residential installations, service connections, and circuit installations or alterations, with maximum fees adjusted to not exceed $390 for residential and service connections, and $65 for circuit installations. Additionally, the bill specifies new fee structures for remodeling projects, apartment buildings, mobile home services, recreational vehicle services, and modular homes, with some fees increased and others newly established.

The bill also mandates a minimum inspection fee of $150 if the calculated fee is less than this amount. It replaces the previous language regarding the commission's authority to promulgate rules, changing "pursuant to" to "in accordance with" chapter 1-26. Furthermore, it allows the commission to set an allotted number of inspections for each installation, ensuring clarity and consistency in the inspection process. Overall, the bill aims to modernize and clarify the fee structure for electrical inspections in the state.
