Boiler Inspection Act

The act governs the inspection and lawful operation of boilers, making it an offense to operate one without a current certificate of inspection. It creates a public boiler inspection service under an appointed, bonded, and sworn inspector who carries out annual inspections and issues certificates that must be displayed, and who may revoke or suspend them; certain boilers are exempt, and an inspection by an insurance company carrying coverage on a boiler can support a certificate, which ceases to be valid if that coverage lapses. Supporting provisions give inspectors a right of entry, require records to be kept, set inspection fees and authorize implementing regulations, treat prohibited use as a nuisance subject to abatement proceedings, and provide for prosecution and penalties with separate offenses charged separately.
