Return Oversight of Office of State Fire Marshal to DOI Commissioner.
HB 899 repeals laws that made North Carolina's Office of State Fire Marshal an independent agency and transfers its oversight to the Commissioner of the Department of Insurance. The bill ensures current employees, fire department identification numbers, and existing rules will continue under the Commissioner's authority until amended by the Commissioner or changed by the General Assembly. These changes take effect on October 1, 2025.
