Minnesota HF4598 modifies building code administration by allowing municipalities to provide services for certain projects.

Minnesota HF4598 amends building code administration by allowing the commissioner to enter into agreements with municipalities for plan review, inspection, code administration, and enforcement on public buildings and state-licensed facilities. This applies to "reserved projects" such as roof covering replacement, exterior maintenance, and HVAC unit replacement. The commissioner must determine if the municipality has enough trained inspectors. If not, the municipality can request reconsideration. The bill also outlines the process for municipalities to appeal a final decision.
