The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Ortt says this is needed

This legislation, which is at the request of the town, would allow them the opportunity to hire a building inspector who is not a resident. The town is in desperate need of hiring a qualified building inspector, and the town reports an extreme shortage of viable candidates who reside inside the town. This legislation will ensure public safety by allowing a qualified building inspector to be hired, regardless of location.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
