An Act amending the act of November 10, 1999 (P.L.491, No.45), known as the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act, in training and certification of inspectors, further providing for training of inspectors.
HB 519 creates a new "trainee classification" for individuals seeking construction inspector certification in Pennsylvania, directly affecting those pursuing certification under the state's Construction Code Act. The bill requires trainees to secure a verified sponsor (a certified inspector), limits trainee status to 2 years for residential/accessibility categories or 3 years for others, and mandates that trainees work under direct supervision without conducting independent inspections. It also requires the Department of Labor and Industry to establish fees, application processes, and publicly list all trainees online. This change modifies existing certification procedures without altering enforcement or penalty provisions.
