Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to most counties is anticipated, since
additional building inspections are expected to be absorbed by existing
county fire marshall resources. However, the Harris County Fire Marshall
estimates that the bill's provision requiring periodic inspections of
buildings could require additional staff at a cost of $425,000 per year.
