AN ACT REDEFINING "FIRE DEPARTMENT" TO SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE FIRE MARSHALS.
This bill amends the legal definition of "fire department" to explicitly include municipal fire marshals. It specifically states that fire marshals shall not be liable for smoke or carbon monoxide detector installations. The change directly affects fire marshals by clarifying their legal status within the fire department structure. This is a definitional adjustment with no new requirements or funding, solely addressing liability for detector installations.
