Representatives told the committee the substitute to House Bill 45 adopts the 2024 International Fire Code with two substantive changes: restoring the standard July 1 effective date and eliminating a requirement that a fire marshal approve traffic‑calming devices.
State fire code reviewers emphasized attention to lithium‑ion battery risks and described a lengthy vetting process by the Fire Prevention Board and the Fire Marshals Association. The substitute was adopted and the committee voted 5–0 to favorably recommend the bill to the full body.
The substitute removes the specific fire-marshall approval requirement for local traffic‑calming devices and aligns state code updates with national model practice while preserving local implementation details.
