What it does

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) administers various laws, including building codes, that promote safety in public and private buildings and in the subsystems of those buildings. To that end, DSPS issues various licenses, permits, registrations, and other credentials (credentials) to persons engaged in the construction trades such as electricians and plumbers.

Current law also provides that DSPS must prescribe and furnish to political subdivisions a standard building permit form for all new one-family and two-family dwellings. Current law provides that a person may not obtain a building permit without a certificate of financial responsibility from DSPS. To obtain that certificate, the person must show that he or she has complied with continuing education requirements and has provided proof that he or she has in force a required bond or policy of general liability insurance.
