A bill for an act relating to matters under the purview of the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing.

SF 214 expands and clarifies the powers of the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing (DIAL) and the boards it oversees. It allows DIAL to adopt standards by referencing readily accessible online publications and to administratively close complaints that do not allege specific violations. The bill also grants DIAL investigators peace officer authority for certain compliance investigations, though they cannot carry weapons, and requires DIAL to keep licensees' private information confidential. Finally, it transfers responsibility for rules governing persons with disabilities parking spaces from the Department of Public Safety to DIAL and eliminates fees for fire and accident inspections.
