Sec. 3. (a) Except to the extent provided in subsection (c), the rules adopted under section 2 of this chapter take precedence over:
(1) any rule adopted by a state agency that conflicts with the commission's fire safety rules or building rules; and
(2) any ordinance or other regulation adopted by a political subdivision that covers the same subject matter as the commission's fire safety rules or building rules.
(b) State agencies and political subdivisions may incorporate the rules adopted by the commission by reference into a rule, ordinance, or other regulation. Notwithstanding IC 4-22-9-6, a reference to the rules adopted by the commission, by citation to the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC), shall be construed to include all amendments as of the date that the reference is written and any later amendments to that provision, unless accompanied by a reference to a specific edition or supplement to the Indiana Administrative Code.
(c) Except as provided in section 3.5 of this chapter, a city, town, or county may adopt an ordinance that includes more stringent or detailed requirements that do not conflict with the commission's rules, but the ordinance is subject to approval under section 5 of this chapter.
As added by P.L.245-1987, SEC.2. Amended by P.L.104-2018, SEC.4.
