An Act amending the act of November 10, 1999 (P.L.491, No.45), known as the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act, in adoption and enforcement by municipalities, further providing for administration and enforcement.

SB 309 amends Pennsylvania's Construction Code Act to change how municipalities enforce building safety standards. It requires municipalities to use two or more non-affiliated third-party agencies for code enforcement after January 1, 2026 (replacing a current one-agency option that expires then), with contracts limited to three years and strict requirements for agency qualifications and public solicitation. The bill also mandates that permit applications inform applicants about third-party agency roles, complaint procedures, and department oversight, while requiring municipalities to maintain complaint records and file waiver requests if they cannot secure two agencies. These changes directly affect local governments and building permit applicants by restructuring enforcement oversight and accountability.
