Establishes provisions relating to fire suppression and fire safety
Second Read and Referred S Transportation, Infrastructure and Public Safety Committee
Summary
The bill mandates that any fire, smoke, or combination damper required by a local code be inspected within 12 months of installation and at least every four years thereafter. Inspections must follow NFPA 80 and NFPA 105 standards, be performed in person by certified contractors or trained technicians, and result in a compliance certificate that building owners must keep on site and post publicly. Failure to repair deficiencies within 30 days can trigger civil penalties and license actions by the State Fire Marshal.
