Establishes minimum staffing levels for agencies enforcing the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code Act.

The bill amends the executive law to set minimum staffing levels for agencies enforcing the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code Act. It requires the Secretary of State to promulgate rules and regulations starting January 1, 2026, and every third year thereafter, specifying the number and qualifications of staff, including certified inspectors. The intent is to ensure adequate staffing to prevent loss of life, injury, and property damage due to fire, and to provide a basic level of protection.
