An Act To Modify The Law Governing Revocation Of A Code Enforcement Officer'S Certification

This bill modifies Maine law to update how code enforcement officer certifications are managed, including requirements for maintaining certification and procedures for revoking it. It establishes a new Complaint Review Committee to investigate complaints against certified officers and requires the Office of Community Affairs to recertify officers who complete 12 hours of approved training over a six-year period. The legislation outlines specific grounds for revocation, such as fraud, negligence, or incompetence, and allows for reissuance of certificates if officers successfully complete the recertification process. Additionally, the bill clarifies the roles of the Office of Community Affairs and local administrative officers in investigating misconduct and determining disciplinary actions.
