Amendment H.5488

This bill requires the Department of Fire Services to create a public database tracking code violations and fines related to hot work safety rules. The department must collect data on specific issues, such as individuals performing hot work without proper training certification or failing to follow permit requirements. Once established, the database will be accessible online and will automatically notify property owners and insurance companies when violations occur. This measure aims to increase transparency and accountability regarding hot work compliance without changing the underlying safety laws themselves.
