• Art. 15: BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT LAWS:
• Ch. 3.2: Design Releases

Text

(a) This section applies if the results of a
plan review reveal that a design professional knowingly or recklessly
submitted plans or specifications containing one (1) or more violations
of the rules of the commission that are determined by the department
and the commission to pose a wanton and willful disregard for the
public health, safety, or welfare.
(b) The provisions regarding the time limitations for review and
notice under this chapter do not apply, and the department is not
required to issue a design release and confirmation number for
providing notice. The department shall send written notice of its
determination to:
(1) the design professional's licensing or registration authority
under IC 25-4-1 or IC 25-31, as appropriate, for the purpose of
conducting a hearing under IC 4-21.5 to determine if action under
IC 4-21.5-3-8 is appropriate;
(2) the design professional; and
(3) the project owner or general contractor on whose behalf the
application was submitted.
(c) An applicant that receives notice under subsection (b) may
withdraw the application and submit a new application and plans to the
department that are prepared by a different design professional.
Withdrawal of an application does not affect any disciplinary action
against the professional of record that prepared the plans described in
subsection (a).
