A bill to amend 1941 PA 207, entitled “Fire prevention code,” by amending section 22 (MCL 29.22), as amended by 2020 PA 154.
Senate Bill No. 907 aims to amend the Fire Prevention Code (1941 PA 207, section 22). The bill focuses on addressing violations of the act or related rules, particularly those involving fire hazards or the risk of hazardous material release. It proposes that such violations be considered misdemeanors and sets a $200 civil fine for owners of firms or vehicles found in violation, with collected fines directed to the state's general fund. Additionally, the bill includes penalties for board members who violate open meetings and freedom of information acts. It also specifies that fire door assemblies equipped with temporary locking devices, installed in accordance with certain state codes, do not constitute a violation of the act. The enactment of S.B.0907 is dependent on the passage of related Senate Bills 906 and 908.
