AZ SB1562

Removes the nine-member State Fire Safety Committee and transfers its advisory duties on fire codes, fee schedules, and arson detection fund allocations directly to the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

Requires assistant fire inspectors and city/town/county-appointed fire inspectors to report inspection records, certificates of occupancy, inspection dates, and building inventory updates to the Office of the State Fire Marshal within 30 days of completion.

Establishes that the state fire code is the minimum standard for all state or county owned buildings, clarifying that cities with populations over 100,000 cannot supersede these requirements.

Requires school districts and charter schools with intergovernmental fire code agreements to have plan reviews and inspections completed by either the Office of the State Fire Marshal or the local jurisdiction specified in the agreement, removing their previous choice between entities.

Allows an employee working at a building requiring a fire watch to serve in that role, provided they are equipped to contact the fire department and perform constant patrols as their sole duty.
