SB410

Senate Bill 410 amends Arkansas Code § 20-23-203 to authorize the Chief Inspector of the Boiler Inspection Division to grant extensions for required boiler inspections for good cause. To receive an extension, the boiler owner or operator must pay the applicable inspection fee. When the inspection is eventually performed after the extension, the operator must pay an additional fee equivalent to the original inspection fee. The bill further mandates that the inspection cycle will reset based on the date of the delayed inspection. The legislation includes an emergency clause, allowing it to take effect immediately upon approval, citing the need to minimize business disruption and employee downtime related to state-mandated inspections.
