Relating to the authority of certain persons to obtain third-party review of plats and property development plans, permits, and similar documents, and the inspection of an improvement related to such a document.

SB 2354 allows property developers and landowners to seek independent third-party reviews of development plans and permits, or inspections of construction, if a local government regulatory authority fails to act within 15 days. It specifies that qualified reviewers must be licensed engineers, International Code Council-certified inspectors, or government employees approved for this role - excluding the applicant or their contractors. The bill requires third parties to follow the same standards as local authorities and report results to the agency within 15 days of completion. This applies to applicants seeking permits or owners needing inspections for property improvements. The bill aims to reduce delays in development approvals without changing substantive regulations.
