The bill amends the Fire Extinguisher Licensing Act by lowering the age qualification for individuals applying for a license from twenty-one (21) to eighteen (18) years. It also removes certain requirements from the license application process, including the need for a statement regarding the extent and scope of the applicant's fire extinguisher business and the requirement for photographs of sole proprietors or significant shareholders. Additionally, the bill modifies the application process to streamline the information required by the State Fire Marshal Commission.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions for the issuance of licenses, stating that upon proper application and payment of the license fee, the State Fire Marshal will issue initial licenses for both individuals and businesses, valid for one year. The bill also clarifies that renewal of licenses does not prevent disciplinary actions for prior offenses and allows the State Fire Marshal Commission to establish varying expiration dates for licenses, with prorated fees for any changes. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026.
