Committee restores commission role in SB 2645 after agency testimony
Summary
The Committee on Public Safety advanced SB 2645 with amendments that reinstate a commission-based process for selecting the state fire marshal after testimony from the State Fire Council and DLNR questioned a proposed shift to a governor appointment model.
The Committee on Public Safety advanced Senate Bill 2645, which makes multiple changes to state fire-prevention law, including restoring the commission process for selecting the state fire marshal.
Chair (Committee on Public Safety) opened the hearing and described the bill’s main changes, saying it would "eliminate the state fire commission as part of the process for selecting a state fire marshal" in its prior draft but that the chair’s recommendation in the decision session was to "reinstate the commission process" and pass the measure with amendments for clarity and consistency.
