Summary

Existing law prohibits a person from marketing, distributing, offering for sale, or selling a fire alarm system or fire alarm device in this state unless the system or device has been approved and listed by the State Fire Marshal. Existing law, commencing January 1, 2014, requires a smoke alarm to have certain features, including a feature that provides notice that the device needs to be replaced, in order to be approved and listed by the State Fire Marshal. This bill would delete this requirement and would extend to January 1, 2015, the date by which smoke detectors need to have certain features to be approved and listed. Existing law authorizes the State Fire Marshal to suspend enforcement of these requirements for not to exceed 6 months if certain conditions exist. This bill would delete this authorization.
