Provides remedy for prevailing party in construction code appeal and other incentives for efficient, appropriate administration of State Uniform Construction Code.

This bill requires municipalities to reimburse the prevailing party (e.g., building permit applicants) for reasonable appeal costs when they win a construction code dispute before a local or county appeals board. It imposes penalties on enforcing agencies that delay reviews or inspections: 15% of fees forfeited after 21 days, plus an additional 15% for every five-day delay beyond that. Agencies must refund expedited fees if promised fast service isn't delivered, and cannot charge extra for rushed reviews without guaranteed speed. The bill also clarifies fee structures for electronic permitting systems and mandates efficient, professional conduct from enforcement staff, with disciplinary action for abusive behavior.
