Explanation of Fiscal Impact
State Expenditure
This bill revises an exemption relating to architectural plans for single-family or two-family dwellings. Currently, detached single-family or two-family dwellings are exempt from having an architect prepare plans and specifications for the dwelling and apply his stamp to these plans. This bill removes the requirement that a single-family or two-family dwelling, as defined in Group R3 of the Standard Building Code, be detached to qualify for this exemption.
This bill will have no expenditure impact on LLR because it does not materially impact the duties or responsibilities of the agency or the board, which is regulated by LLR.
