13217
. (a) The fire department of any city or county may annually
inspect all high-rise structures for compliance with building
standards and other regulations of the State Fire Marshal. If a local
agency elects to perform the inspection, the results of the
inspection shall be submitted to the State Fire Marshal's office in a
form and manner approved by the State Fire Marshal no later than 30
days after the date of the inspection. If the local fire department
elects not to conduct an inspection, the State Fire Marshal shall
conduct the inspection.
(b) A local agency which inspects a high-rise structure pursuant
to subdivision (a) may charge and collect a fee for the inspection
from the owner of the high-rise structure in an amount, as determined
by the local agency, sufficient to pay its costs of that inspection.
(c) If the State Fire Marshal conducts an inspection pursuant to
subdivision (a), the State Fire Marshal shall determine his or her
costs of the inspection and submit a claim for that amount, together
with a designation of the city or county in which the inspection was
conducted, to the Controller. Notwithstanding Section 11005 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code, the Controller shall deduct the claimed
amount from the moneys allocated pursuant to Section 11005 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code to the designated city or county and
transfer that amount to the State Fire Marshal to pay the costs of
the inspections, and the Controller shall distribute the balance to
the designated city or county.
