§ 9-4-110 — Special inspectors

(1) In addition to the boiler inspectors
authorized by this article, the section shall, upon request of any company
authorized to insure against loss from explosion of boilers in this state, issue to any
boiler inspectors of said company commissions as special boiler inspectors. Each
such inspector, before receiving a commission, shall satisfy the division of oil and
public safety that such inspector is properly qualified to perform such inspections.
Possession of a valid commission as inspector issued by the national board of boiler
and pressure vessel inspectors shall be considered to be proper qualification.

(2) Such special boiler inspectors shall receive no salary from, nor shall any
of their expenses be paid by, the state, and continuance of a special boiler
inspector's commission shall be conditioned upon such special boiler inspector's
continuing in the employ of the boiler insurance company duly authorized as
aforesaid and upon the maintenance of the standards imposed by the division of oil
and public safety. Such special boiler inspectors shall perform their functions in
accordance with the instructions for special boiler inspectors formulated by the
section.

(3) Such special boiler inspectors shall inspect all boilers insured by their
respective companies and, when so inspected, the owners or users of such insured
boilers shall pay Colorado boiler inspection fees for the issuance of a certificate of
inspection.

(4) Each company employing such special boiler inspectors, within thirty
days following each boiler inspection made by such inspectors, shall file a report of
such inspection with the section upon appropriate forms promulgated by the
division of oil and public safety.

(5) If the division of oil and public safety has reason to believe that a special
boiler inspector is no longer qualified to hold an appointment or commission, the
division of oil and public safety or its selected agent, upon not less than ten days'
written notice to the inspector and the inspector's employer, shall hold a hearing at
which such inspector and the inspector's employer shall have an opportunity to be
heard. If, as a result of such hearing, the division of oil and public safety or its
selected agent finds that such inspector is no longer qualified to hold an
appointment or commission, the division of oil and public safety, or upon
recommendation of its selected agent, shall revoke or suspend such appointment or
commission.

(6) A person whose appointment or commission has been suspended shall be
entitled to apply, after ninety days from the date of such suspension, for
reinstatement of such appointment or commission.
