Requires fire-resistant material applicators to undergo training and certification

This bill requires all professionals who apply fire-resistant materials (such as spray-on protective coatings for building structures) to complete state-approved training and obtain certification. The state fire administrator must create a training program with specific course requirements and certification standards, and applicators must complete this before working. Untrained individuals applying these materials face fines of up to $250 per violation. The bill directly affects construction workers, contractors, and fire safety professionals who install fire-resistant coatings.
