This bill, HB 1807, was enacted to change the deadline for state fire marshal inspections of new construction or building renovations from 72 hours to 10 business days. The law directly affects building owners, contractors, and state agencies by requiring the fire marshal to schedule these specific inspections within the new, longer timeframe. By extending the time allowed to complete the inspection, the bill aims to provide more flexibility for scheduling while still ensuring that state officials conduct the necessary safety reviews. The change applies to various building codes across multiple titles in the Tennessee Code Annotated and took effect on July 1, 2024.
