(a) The governing body electing by ordinance
					 to have its building department assume responsibility for in-plant inspections
					 of factory-built housing shall file a copy of such ordinance with the
					 department.
(b) After 30 days'
					 written notice to the department and when meeting the department's requirements
					 for certification, the governing body and the local inspection agency shall be
					 advised in writing that enforcement responsibility may be commenced.
(c) If the department's certification
					 requirements have not been met by the local inspection agency, the governing
					 body and the local inspection agency shall within a reasonable time be advised
					 in writing by the department. Such notification shall set forth in detail the
					 reasons why certification may not be granted.
(d) The local inspection agency shall
					 designate the person(s) who are to perform the in-plant inspections at each
					 place of manufacture within the political limits of the jurisdiction and
					 provide the department with a resume of each persons education and work
					 experience. If only one person is designated for a particular place of
					 manufacture, the name of a back-up inspector shall be provided. These
					 designations shall be kept current.
(e) Inspection personnel designated to
					 perform the in-plant inspections shall be certified by an examination conducted
					 by the department. The examination will consist of a written test based on the
					 Factory-Built Housing Law, the administrative regulations related thereto, and
					 the building systems employed in the construction of factory-built housing. A
					 minimum rating of 70% must be attained. Inspection personnel shall also
					 demonstrate capability to note construction violations during actual in-plant
					 inspections.
(f) The certification
					 of local inspection agency inspectors shall expire 36 months from the date of
					 initial certification. Application for recertification shall be as specified in
					 subsection (e).
(g) The department
					 may revoke its certification of the local inspection agency or an in-plant
					 inspector for cause. "Cause" shall be established upon the findings of acts or
					 omissions subsequent to certification which result in the placing of insignia
					 on units or modules which are not in compliance with this subchapter. A
					 department revocation may be subject to an informal administrative appeal
					 before the director or his or her designee pursuant to Section 3056.
