Requires fire-resistant material applicators to undergo training and certification
This bill requires all individuals who apply fire-resistant materials (like sprayed cement or fiber coatings for fire protection) to complete state-approved training and obtain certification. The state fire administrator must create a training program with specific course requirements and certification standards. Applicators who work without this certification face fines of up to $250 per violation. The law applies directly to workers performing this specific fire protection task and takes effect immediately.
