SB 149 shortens the timeframe for state agencies to conduct building inspections. It changes the requirement from 10 business days to 10 calendar days for the state fire marshal or other agencies to inspect new construction or renovations. This affects builders, contractors, and state agencies responsible for building permits and safety compliance. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections related to permitting (Titles 5, 7, 13, 68, and 69) to implement this change.
