Section 48-731
Special inspector commission; requirements; inspection under provision of a city ordinance; inspection under the act not required; when.

(1)(a) The Division of Safety and Labor Standards of the Department of Labor may issue a special inspector commission to an inspector in the employ of a company if the inspector has previously passed the examination prescribed by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors and the company is an insurance company authorized to insure boilers in this state against loss from explosion.

(b) Each insurance company which has been issued a special inspector commission under this section shall submit to the state boiler inspector complete data of each boiler required to be inspected by the Boiler Inspection Act which is insured by such company on forms approved by the commissioner.

(c) Insurance companies shall notify the division of new, canceled, or suspended risks relating to insured boilers. Insurance companies shall notify the division of all boilers which the company insures, or any boiler for which insurance has been canceled, not renewed, or suspended within thirty days after such action.

(d) Insurance companies shall notify the division of defective boilers. If a special inspector, upon the first inspection of new risk, finds that the boiler or any of the appurtenances are in such condition that the inspector's company refuses insurance, the company shall submit a report of the defects to the state boiler inspector.

(2) The inspection required by the act shall not be made if (a) an annual inspection is made under a city ordinance which meets the standards set forth in the act, (b) a certificate of inspection of the boiler is filed with the commissioner with a certificate fee, and (c) the inspector for the city making such inspection is required by such ordinance to either hold a commission from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors commensurate with the type of inspections performed by the inspector for the city or acquire the commission within twelve months after appointment.

(3) The commissioner may, by rule and regulation, provide for the issuance of a special inspector commission to an inspector in the employ of a company using or operating an unfired pressure vessel subject to the act for the limited purpose of inspecting unfired pressure vessels used or operated by such company.

(4) All inspections made by a special inspector shall be performed in accordance with the act, and a complete report of such inspection shall be filed with the division in the time, manner, and form prescribed by the commissioner.

(5) The state boiler inspector may, at his or her discretion, inspect any boiler to which a special inspector commission applies.

(6) The commissioner may, for cause, suspend or revoke any special inspector commission.
