Concerning the administration of the international fire code.

SB 6064 clarifies which entities administer the International Fire Code in unincorporated areas of Washington State. It allows counties to enforce the code generally, while larger fire districts or regional fire authorities (with over $10 million in annual revenue) may opt to take over enforcement - including fire cause investigations, inspections, and planning reviews - in unincorporated areas within their jurisdiction, after six months' notice to the county. These fire districts can also collect fees to cover inspection costs, and must offer equivalent jobs to displaced county fire marshal staff. The bill does not change existing fire suppression powers of counties or cities, nor does it limit other entities’ fire prevention responsibilities.
