Senate Bill 1784 and House Bill 1760 propose amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated regarding building inspections. The bill modifies Section 68-120-101(f)(1)(C) by changing the required notice period for inspections from "one (1) working day" to "two (2) working days." Additionally, it amends Section 68-120-101(k)(3)(B) by introducing a requirement that if a third-party inspector is engaged for a locally required building inspection, that same inspector must be used for any subsequent inspections related to that initial inspection. However, this does not mandate the use of a third-party inspector for other unrelated inspections.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to actions and conduct occurring on or after that date. The changes aim to streamline the inspection process while ensuring consistency in the use of third-party inspectors for related inspections.
