HAR §12-45.4-9. Administration and enforcement authority

Section 1.6 is amended to read as follows: 1.6 Administration and enforcement authority. This Code shall be administered and enforced by the AHJ designated by HRS 132. [Eff ] (Auth: HRS §132-3) (Imp: HRS §132-3) (This was changed to match the text in section 1.6, which uses the term “enforcement.” It adds the reference to the overarching requirements for the Hawaii Revised Statutes section 132 that provide all the enforcement authority. This has been in previous state fire codes. Fire Chief was changed to AHJ to be consistent with NFPA 1. The term AHJ will usually apply to the Chief, but could include other authorities, such as the building official, if that authority applies. Also, “Chief is not defined in this code, but AHJ is defined. Nine previous amendments were deleted because this amendment authorizes the AHJ to administer & enforce this code as delineated in HRS 132)
