"SECTION 8. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 12-23-116, amend
(10) as follows:
12-23-116. Inspection - application - standard - rules.
(10) (a) An inspector performing an inspection for the state, an
incorporated town or city, a county, a city and county, or a qualified state
institution of higher education may verify compliance with this article
ARTICLE 23; however, for each project, inspections performed by the
state, an incorporated town or city, a county, a city and county, or a
qualified state institution of higher education must include a
contemporaneous review to ensure that the specific requirements of
sections 12-23-105 and 12-23-110.5 have been met. A contemporaneous
review may include a full or partial review of the electricians and
apprentices working on a job site being inspected.
(b) To ensure that enforcement is consistent, timely, and efficient,
each entity, including the state, as described in this subsection (10), shall
develop standard procedures to advise its inspectors how to conduct a
contemporaneous review. Each entity's standard procedures need not
require a contemporaneous review for each and every inspection of a
project, but the procedures must preserve an inspector's ability to verify
compliance with sections 12-23-105 and 12-23-110.5 at any time. EACH
ENTITY'S PROCEDURES MUST ALSO INCLUDE PROVISIONS THAT ALLOW FOR
INSPECTORS TO CONDUCT OCCASIONAL, RANDOM, ON-SITE INSPECTIONS
WHILE ACTUAL ELECTRICAL WORK IS BEING CONDUCTED, WITH A FOCUS
ON LARGE COMMERCIAL AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
PERMITTED BY THE ENTITY. Each entity, including the state, shall post its
current procedures regarding contemporaneous reviews in a prominent
location on its public website. EACH ENTITY SHALL PROVIDE A WEBSITE
LINK TO OR AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF ITS PROCEDURES TO THE BOARD,
AND THE BOARD SHALL POST ALL OF THE PROCEDURES ON A SINGLE
LOCATION ON THE DEPARTMENT OF REGULATORY AGENCIES' WEBSITE.
(c) An inspector may file a complaint with the board for any
violation of this article ARTICLE 23.
(d) THE BOARD SHALL ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THIS SECTION.
IF THE BOARD DETERMINES, AS A RESULT OF A COMPLAINT, THAT AN
ENTITY OTHER THAN THE STATE IS CONDUCTING ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS
THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION, THE BOARD MAY ISSUE TO
THAT ENTITY AN ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE, IN ACCORDANCE SECTION
12-23-118 (9), AS TO WHY THE BOARD SHOULD NOT ISSUE A FINAL ORDER
DIRECTING THAT ENTITY TO CEASE AND DESIST CONDUCTING ELECTRICAL
INSPECTIONS UNTIL THAT ENTITY COMES INTO COMPLIANCE TO THE
SATISFACTION OF THE BOARD. IF THE USE OF STATE ELECTRICAL
INSPECTORS IS REQUIRED AFTER THE ISSUANCE OF A FINAL CEASE AND
DESIST ORDER PURSUANT TO THIS SUBSECTION (10)(d), THAT ENTITY
SHALL REIMBURSE THE BOARD FOR ANY EXPENSES INCURRED IN
PERFORMING THAT ENTITY'S INSPECTIONS, IN ADDITION TO TRANSMITTING
THE REQUIRED PERMIT FEES.".
