Subject: Heffley - Amending PA Uniform Construction Code
Act
I recently introduced legislation that would amend the PA
Construction Code Act (Act 45 of 1999) to require that municipalities which
utilize a private third-party agency to enforce the Uniform Construction Code
contract with at least two or more such entities to provide inspection
services. The purpose of this legislation
is to ensure property owners in such municipalities have a choice of where to
obtain code enforcement services.
Attached is the legislation with a few technical changes
to the language of the original legislation that was circulated (HB 734).
I strongly believe this legislation is supported by the
general public and will provide much needed reform to protect individual
property owners from abuse.
