What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Safety and Professional Services is

required to promulgate rules establishing standards for the construction and

inspection of one-family and two-family dwellings, the initial construction of which

commenced on or after December 1, 1978. Under this bill, those rules must require

an inspection of any addition to, or any remodeling, improvement, or other

alteration, except repair, of, such a one-family or two-family dwelling the cost of

which exceeds 20 percent of the assessed value of the dwelling.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
