BUILDING CODES: Provides relative to the issuance of permits for construction

This bill requires local governments in Louisiana to verify a contractor's license number when issuing construction permits. It also mandates that these authorities send copies of the permit along with the contractor's name and license number to the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors. The change directly affects construction contractors, local building departments, and the state licensing board by adding a verification step to the permitting process. This provision aims to ensure that only licensed contractors are authorized to perform construction work within the state.
