Relates to the criminal enforcement of violations of the state's uniform fire prevention and building code

This bill expands criminal penalties for individuals and businesses that fail to comply with state fire prevention and building code orders. It directly affects owners, tenants, contractors, architects, and other parties responsible for property maintenance or construction. Under the new provisions, willful violations or failure to fix code issues within the specified timeframe can result in misdemeanor charges, including daily fines and potential jail time. The bill also establishes a separate violation category for less severe infractions, punishable by smaller fines and shorter jail sentences. These changes aim to strengthen enforcement of safety standards across a wider range of property-related roles.
