I don't see the problem. Sounds like PA is adopting a state-wide building code program and following up to make sure the inspectors are up to the task.

As a former architect, I applaud any effort to standardize and make more uniform the requirements to get a building built.

After I read your post but before reading the article, I assumed that this was about some sort of protectionism thing to benefit organized labor in the construction industry to the detriment of non-union workers and owners.

After I read the article, it seems fine to me. Easy permits and lax inspections are not necessarily a good thing. What builders need is a thorough understanding of the requirements and to not be held up by backlogged inspectors. Sounds like PA is addressing both of these concerns.
