Representative expresses reservations about wildfire follow‑up bill’s structure and placement of state fire marshal
Summary
Representative Bellotti said she supported the intent of the bill addressing Maui wildfire recommendations but registered reservations about the placement of the state fire marshal office and the duties assigned to it.
Representative Bellotti rose in support with reservations for a standing committee report associated with Maui wildfire follow‑up. She said areas of concern include “the placement of the office of the state fire marshal as well as the duties that we are gonna be allocating to that office.” Bellotti referenced the findings and recommendations of the FSRI (Fire Safety/Recovery Investigation) report as motivating the bill and said further discussion would be needed as the bill is refined.
She recorded her floor position as “with reservations” and asked that the record reflect continued dialogue about duties and structure for the office. The discussion was brief in the transcript, and the item was advanced as part of the omnibus package later in the session; members asked that their reservations be entered in the journal.
