H.B. 58 establishes a new Building Code Analyst position within DOPL to support the Uniform Building Code Commission (UBCC). This role serves as a collaborative, neutral resource to identify common building code issues affecting construction professionals and building regulators statewide.

As outlined in Utah Code § 15A-1-203(10)(e), the Building Code Analyst will gather information through stakeholder surveys and interviews, visits to building departments and construction sites, and other reasonable data collection methods. The role is exploratory and evaluative, focusing on reviewing processes such as inspections, plan reviews, permitting, and code compliance to identify opportunities for improvement.

The goal is to support a more consistent, efficient, and effective building code system by providing findings and recommendations to the UBCC. This position is not disciplinary or enforcement-focused.
