BUILDING CODES: Provides relative to the Uniform Construction Code and inspector licensing
This bill amends the Uniform Construction Code and related inspector licensing regulations in Louisiana. The specific changes involve correcting a capitalization error for the word "commission" and clarifying that the referenced Bureau belongs to the state of Louisiana. These adjustments refine existing administrative language without altering the core requirements for building inspections or code enforcement. The legislation was passed by the House with a unanimous vote and is now moving to the Senate for further consideration.
