To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make grants to local governments for the training of local law enforcement officers on public health threats arising from violations of building codes, and for other purposes.
HR 9305 directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide grants to local governments for training local enforcement officers (such as building code inspectors) to recognize and respond to public health risks caused by unsafe buildings. The bill requires grantees to develop training programs focused on identifying hazards like mold or structural failures that could lead to health outbreaks, and to coordinate with public health departments and other local agencies. Priority for funding goes to communities with identified health threats and applicants with strong training capacity. This legislation directly affects local code enforcement personnel and aims to improve public safety through targeted training, without changing building codes themselves.
