Bill Summary
To redefine "fire department" to specify that municipal fire marshals shall not be liable for smoke or carbon monoxide detector installation.
AI Summary
This bill amends section 52-557r of the general statutes to expand the definition of "fire department" to explicitly include municipal fire marshals. By making this change, the legislation clarifies that fire marshals, who are officials responsible for fire prevention and investigation, should not be held legally liable for the installation of smoke or carbon monoxide detectors. The purpose of the bill appears to be providing legal protection for fire marshals by ensuring they cannot be sued for potential issues related to detector installation, which may have previously been an area of uncertainty under existing law. This modification helps to clearly define the responsibilities and legal standing of municipal fire marshals within the broader context of fire safety and prevention services.
