AN ACT relating to fire protection.

Summary

The law expands the authority of Kentucky’s fire protection officials, letting them suspend licenses or levy fines up to $1,000 against anyone who willfully ignores fire safety regulations, emergency orders, or final orders. It also allows the state fire marshal—or the Attorney General on request—to sue for injunctions, restraining orders, and to collect penalties in the appropriate circuit court. If a violation may warrant criminal charges, the fire official must forward the case to local prosecutors.
