FIRE PROTECT/FIRE MARSHAL: Provides relative to boilers (EN INCREASE SG RV See Note)
HB 799 establishes new boiler safety regulations in Louisiana, directly affecting boiler operators, inspectors, and manufacturers. It grants the state fire marshal exclusive authority to enforce safety standards, requiring annual external inspections for all boilers and internal inspections for high-pressure systems (with limited extensions under specific conditions). The bill mandates that inspections follow American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) industry standards, creates a licensing system for boiler inspectors, and requires detailed inspection records. Fees, penalties for violations, and specific procedures for boiler installation and operation are also defined under this legislation.

MINOR
The bill was re-enrolled as Act 842, formalizing the legislative text after Senate amendments. The primary substantive change involves correcting a typo in the definition of 'in-service' to 'inservice' and updating the reference to the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors to ensure accuracy in licensing requirements.
TECHNICAL
Corrected the spelling of 'in-service' to 'inservice' in the definition of a licensed inspector's commission.
Updated the reference to the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors to remove the word 'and' before 'Pressure Vessel Inspectors' for consistency.
