What’s in it
AI summary Instead of inspecting asbestos removal businesses every year, the state will now only inspect them if there is a complaint, an accident, or an immediate danger. This change also stops the requirement for regular sanitation inspections at all hotels. Now, hotels will only be inspected if someone files a complaint.1
Read the official explanation
This bill strikes the requirement that the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing (DIAL) conduct an annual inspection of a business entity permitted to remove or encapsulate asbestos, and instead requires DIAL to inspect such entities upon complaints, referrals, injuries, accidents, or media notifications, or in case of imminent danger. The bill also repeals the requirement that DIAL or a local board of health conduct biennial sanitation inspections of all hotels in Iowa. The bill moves certain provisions associated with inspections from the repealed provision to the provision requiring DIAL to inspect a hotel upon receiving a complaint.
