Committee approves cleanup clarifying local fire‑protection authority
Summary
House Bill 565, cleanup language clarifying the inclusion of local fire protection officials and strengthening enforcement at the local level, passed the committee unanimously and was moved to consent.
Representative Myron Dossett told the committee HB565 contains cleanup language from prior legislation meant to clarify fire‑protection officials and include local fire officials explicitly under enforcement and code roles. "It's cleanup language from legislation that we passed last year," Dossett said, and he framed the change as aimed at improving local enforcement of fire codes.
The committee moved and unanimously approved HB565, 10–0, and placed it on consent to move to the full chamber.
What happens next: HB565 advances to the floor with the committee’s unanimous endorsement.
