What legislative changes occurred in relation to the inspection powers in 2002?

In 2002, significant legislative changes were made to clarify and define the inspection powers of officials within the context of building inspections. This clarification aimed to provide clearer guidelines on how and when inspectors could exercise their powers, ensuring both compliance with legal standards and protection of individual rights. By specifying the scope and limits of these powers, the legislation helped to eliminate ambiguities that could arise during inspections and reinforced the authority of inspectors while also safeguarding the interests of property owners and occupants. This change ultimately contributed to a more organized and transparent inspection process in the building regulatory framework.
