HB 1228 simplifies permitting for emergency repairs to residential buildings, requiring municipalities and counties to allow immediate repairs when needed to ensure safety, prevent further damage, or protect structural integrity. Property owners must apply for emergency permits within three business days of starting repairs. The bill permits legal action against local governments that violate these provisions, waiving governmental immunity to such claims.
