Bill > HB06645

This bill modifies existing fire safety inspection regulations by expanding who can conduct building and facility inspections and changing the frequency of those inspections. Specifically, the bill allows members of a fire unit, not just local fire marshals, to perform inspections as outlined in section 29-305 of the general statutes. Additionally, the bill changes the required inspection frequency from annually (once per calendar year) to once every three calendar years. The bill's primary goal is to reduce administrative burdens on fire departments while maintaining existing fire safety standards, which means fire departments will have more flexibility in scheduling and conducting inspections without compromising public safety. By broadening the pool of qualified personnel who can perform inspections and extending the time between required inspections, the bill aims to make fire safety compliance more efficient for local fire departments.
