Since 1954 ACIA has been actively representing the construction inspection industry in many ways. To better serve the industry, ACIA is pleased to introduce this new free monthly online feature to maintain awareness of legislative activity that affects our industry.
The ACIA Government Affairs Committee has continuously monitored legislative movement affecting the construction inspection industry for many years. ACIA was first to inform California school and hospital inspectors of AB 2995 and AB 2966 when they were introduced back in February of this year.
ACIA will continue as it has in the past to monitor legislative movement in collaboration with industry related professional organizations and report on updates as they develop.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who attended ACIA’s “OSHPD and the IOR” training seminar. Over 250 attended the event held at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, CA making this the largest one day event ACIA has presented to date.
Responding to this year’s legislative challenge (AB 2966) to the hospital inspection industry, ACIA and OSHPD worked diligently in a relatively short amount of time to present this training in a collaborative effort to reassure any and all concerned parties that OSHPD certified inspectors of record (IOR) are among the most highly trained inspectors in the industry. As indicated by one of the presenters, “It’s about time.”

Although building inspectors have historically enforced ADA compliance CASp is the first certification of its kind that is dedicated to accessibility code and ADA enforcement.
