(2) The terms of an agreement under subsection (1) of this section may specify whether the department is to utilize department resources or combine resources with one or more of the municipalities to carry out an agreement. An agreement may combine department and local government resources in any manner that the parties believe will provide for the efficient and uniform administration of the building inspection program within the geographic area, including but not limited to full, divided, mutual or joint performance of any of the administrative or enforcement functions by any of the parties to the agreement. A decision by the director regarding whether to enter into an agreement under subsection (1) of this section, and the content of any agreement that the director enters into under subsection (1) of this section, is not subject to review by the Attorney General or the Oregon Department of Administrative Services and is subject to challenge or appeal under ORS chapter 183 only for failure to comply with an express requirement created under ORS 455.185 to 455.198.

(3) An agreement under subsection (1) of this section is not an abandonment of a building inspection program for purposes of ORS 455.148 or 455.150.

(4) If the Department of Consumer and Business Services enters into an agreement under subsection (1) of this section, the department and a public body that offers construction-related services in the geographic area may enter into an agreement for providing access to the construction-related services on the electronic information system described in ORS 455.095 and 455.097. The agreement may include, but need not be limited to, provision for access that allows the electronic submission of an application to the public body for a construction-related permit. As used in this subsection, "public body" has the meaning given that term in ORS 174.109. [2013 c.528 §5; 2015 c.170 §4]

Note: 455.185 to 455.200 were added to and made a part of ORS chapter 455 by legislative action but were not added to any smaller series therein. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
