Require government to provide certain building code text or citation causing delay or stop
This bill requires state and local building departments to provide written or electronic copies of specific building code sections when they delay permit approvals or stop construction projects. If a department fails to provide these requested code citations within seven calendar days, those code sections are automatically waived for that permit or project. The legislation also allows individuals to sue for damages and recover legal fees if a building department does not comply with this requirement.
