STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Nineteen
AN ACT relative to third party inspections conducted pursuant to a planning board approval.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Administrative and Enforcement Procedures; Planning Board; Third Party Review and Inspection. Amend RSA 676:4-b, II to read as follows:
II. A planning board approval of a subdivision plat, site plan, or other land use application may require the applicant to reimburse the board for expenses reasonably incurred by obtaining third party inspection during the construction process. A planning board that requires third party inspection during the construction process shall, as part of the inspection process, develop a scope for the project inspection in consultation with the applicant. Alternatively, a planning board approval of a subdivision plat, site plan, or other land use application may ask the applicant to provide a signed certification from the site plan designer in lieu of the third party inspection, stating the project was built in accordance with the plans approved by the planning board. Should the planning board select this option, the site plan designer shall be a New Hampshire licensed professional engineer and the planning board may require that the certification be based on inspections at specified stages during the construction process.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
