Chapter 143 of the General Laws is hereby amended by inserting after section 96 the following section:-\r\nSection 96A. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the local energy code in effect at the time a building permit application is deemed complete by the local permit granting authority shall govern the design, construction and inspection of the project authorized by such permit for the duration of construction; provided, however, that work authorized under the permit proceeds in good faith continuously to completion. For purposes of this section, temporary delays resulting from weather, labor shortages, material shortages, financing, litigation, governmental action or other circumstances beyond the permit holder's reasonable control shall not, by themselves, constitute a failure to proceed in good faith continuously to completion.\r\nNothing in this section shall prohibit a permit holder from voluntarily electing to comply with a subsequently adopted energy code.”.\r\n"}
