To establish a state building inspector and mechanical trades inspector disciplinary board to review and rule on complaints of negligence, incompetence, and improper conduct by inspectors, and to authorize penalties ranging from censure to jail, restitution and a $10,000 civil fine on violators. The bill also imposes stricter standards on inspectors, and provides more explicit definitions that would limit the ability of inspectors to impose expansive interpretations of regulations.
