Sec. 5. (a) The commission shall carry out a program to review
the fire safety laws and the building laws adopted in the ordinances
and other regulations of political subdivisions.
(b) An ordinance or other regulation adopted by a political
subdivision that qualifies as a fire safety law or a building law is not
effective until it is approved by the commission. However, an
ordinance that:
(1) is adopted by a city, town, or county; and
(2) governs the installations, repair, and maintenance of smoke
detectors in residential structures that are not required to have
smoke detectors under the rules of the commission;
is effective without approval by the commission.
