Bill > SB1562

This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes concerning public buildings and the state fire marshal's office. It clarifies that public buildings must comply with the state fire code or, through an intergovernmental agreement, a local fire code for school buildings, and allows for local fire safety inspections. The bill also modifies provisions related to fire watches, allowing building employees to serve as fire watches with proper equipment and instructions, and clarifies the duties and reporting requirements for assistant fire inspectors, including providing inspection records to the state fire marshal. Additionally, it adjusts the enforcement jurisdiction of the state fire marshal, particularly regarding state and county-owned buildings, and refines the process for submitting and reviewing construction plans for public buildings. The bill also makes technical changes to references within the statutes.
