SB3

The amendment significantly narrows the bill by removing the broad exemption for interior alterations and replacing it with a more limited list of specific exterior components that don't require permits, while adding conditions like dimensional consistency for doors and windows and requiring siding to be nonstructural. This shifts the bill from broadly protecting interior home improvements to focusing narrowly on exterior repairs and replacements, while explicitly preserving local authority to require permits for historical properties.

The amendment removed roof coverings and related weatherproofing components from the list of residential improvements that don't require permits, which NARROWS the bill's scope by requiring homeowners to obtain permits for roof work while still exempting doors, windows, fencing, gutters, downspouts, and nonstructural siding.

The amendment narrows the bill's scope to apply only to "detached single-family" owner-occupied homes and adds three new exempt improvements (fascia, soffit, and gutter) to the list of residential repairs that don't require permits, while also clarifying that historical properties remain subject to permit requirements.

This change converts the bill from a conference committee draft to its final enrolled version for signature, removing the working markup language and adding official enactment certification and signature pages—no substantive changes to the bill's actual content or purpose of limiting permit requirements for specific residential exterior repairs.
