Relating to third-party review of property development documents and inspections of improvements related to those documents, including home backup power installations.

HB 2304 streamlines the process for installing home backup power systems by allowing third-party reviewers to handle document reviews and inspections without requiring local regulatory authority approval. It directly affects homeowners, contractors, and local authorities by eliminating bureaucratic delays for these installations. Key provisions include requiring authorities to post all necessary rules online within two business days, prohibiting additional fees for these reviews, and setting a two-day timeline for issuing approvals after documentation is submitted. The law specifically applies to systems serving single or double-family homes (600 volts or less) and aims to simplify permitting for energy storage installations.
