SB 1735 Tennessee Senate · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Codes - As enacted, requires, for an inspection of new construction or the renovation of an existing building that must be conducted by the state fire marshal or another state agency, department, or entity, the state fire marshal or appropriate state entity to conduct the requested inspection within 10 business days, instead of 72 hours, of receipt of the request. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 7; Title 12; Title 13; Title 62; Title 66 and Title 68.

This bill changes the deadline for state fire marshals and other agencies to perform building inspections from 72 hours to 10 business days. It directly affects contractors, builders, and property owners in Tennessee who request inspections for new construction or building renovations. The law applies to inspections that must be conducted by state officials rather than local authorities. This adjustment gives agencies more time to schedule and complete these safety checks without penalizing those who request them.
