Relating generally to the state fire marshal

HB 5164 transfers the Office of the State Fire Marshal from the Fire Commission to the Department of Homeland Security, changing how the position is appointed and managed. It requires the State Fire Marshal to have a bachelor's degree plus six years of fire safety experience (including two years supervisory), and clarifies that deputy fire marshals are law enforcement officers with specific training requirements. The bill also establishes new qualifications for deputy fire marshals and details their supervisory responsibilities within the Office. This directly affects the State Fire Marshal, deputies, and fire safety personnel under the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
