Adds to existing law to provide for timely electrical, plumbing, and HVAC inspections and the option for third-party inspections in certain situations.

This legislation establishes minimum timeliness and accountability standards for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical inspections conducted by the state or local governments. The bill authorizes permit holders to obtain a qualified third-party inspection and receive a refund of inspection fees when a requested inspection is not completed within forty-eight (48) business hours. The bill also requires a partial refund of inspection fees when an inspection fails and the inspecting authority does not provide the reason for failure within three (3) business days. These provisions are intended to promote timely inspections and improve communication while maintaining existing inspection qualifications and standards.
