Description
Uniform Statewide Building Code; limitation on prosecutions for violation. Changes the time within which a prosecution for violations of the Uniform Statewide Building Code must be commenced from two years to one year. As a result there is no longer a conflict between the Building Code and the statute of limitations on prosecutions ( 19.2-8). The bill also provides that the prosecution shall commence within one year of discovery by the building official and not the owner. For prosecutions relating to the maintenance code, the bill clarifies that any such prosecutions must be commenced within one year of the discovery of the offense by the building official.
