MINOR
This bill was revised to incorporate legislative commissioner recommendations, primarily updating language for clarity and consistency. The main substantive change adjusts the threshold for appointing an acting building official from '30 days' to '15 consecutive days', allowing quicker intervention when a building official is absent. Minor technical edits include changing 'his' to 'such officer's' for gender-neutral consistency and reformatting the text layout.
REQUIREMENT

Reduced the absence threshold for appointing an acting building official from 30 days to 15 consecutive days, enabling faster appointment of temporary officials when the regular building official is unavailable.

TECHNICAL

Changed the pronoun 'his' to 'such officer's' for consistency with standard drafting conventions and to avoid gender-specific language.

Reformatted the bill layout and headers from 'Raised Bill' to 'Substitute Bill' to reflect its current status in the legislative process.
