State Fire Marshal; allowing submission to certain approved entities for building plan review. Emergency.

SB 148 allows local governments (cities, towns, counties) in Oklahoma to use certain approved third-party entities for reviewing building plans, instead of always requiring the State Fire Marshal to handle these reviews. This applies to most construction projects, though the State Fire Marshal retains authority for buildings in unincorporated areas or where local permits aren't required. The bill requires the State Fire Marshal to issue permits within 90 days (or automatically approve if no response is given), and specifically excludes single-family homes, duplexes, barns, and sheds attached to homes in unincorporated areas from needing State Fire Marshal review. The changes aim to streamline the permitting process while maintaining building code compliance.
