Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)

Forslaget skal modernisere og forenkle husefter­syn­sord­nin­gen ved at indføre en ny autor­isa­tion­sord­ning for virksomheder, der udarbejder tilstandsrapporter. Formålet er at understøtte rapporter af høj kvalitet, tydeliggøre ansvaret og reducere myndighedernes administrative byrder. Forslaget følger op på finanslovsaftalen for 2025 om at reducere antallet af administrative årsværk i staten. Det foreslås at afskaffe den nuværende personlige be­skikkelse­sord­ning for bygningssagkyndige og i stedet indføre en autor­isa­tion­sord­ning for virksomheder. Ansvaret for tilstand­srap­port­erne skal dermed i højere grad placeres hos virksomhederne. Forbrugerne vil fortsat kunne klage over tilstandsrapporter og søge erstatning gennem et klagenævn. Forslaget viderefører de gældende krav til uddannelse og erfaring for bygningssagkyndige og indebærer desuden, at det it-system, som anvendes til tilstands- og elin­stall­a­tion­srap­port­er, kan konkur­renceud­sættes til private aktører. Det foreslås, at loven træder i kraft den 1. januar 2027 med en overgangsperiode på halvandet år.
