Requires local unit to accept electronic payment of construction code fees.
This bill requires construction contractors to pay fees under the State Uniform Construction Code using electronic methods, such as credit cards or online transfers, when entering into contracts. It also mandates that local governments (like cities and counties) establish a system for accepting these electronic payments by passing a resolution. The bill applies specifically to fees required by the State Uniform Construction Code Act. Local units must set up the payment system for construction code fees but cannot use credit cards for overdue payments or liens.
