SB 15 - This act clarifies an existing conflict in statutes as to who appoints the State Fire Marshal. The act corrects an oversight from 1985 in deleting a conflicting section.

Section 320.205, RSMo, provides that the Fire Marshal is appointed by the Governor. Section 650.005, RSMo, provides that the Fire Marshal is appointed by the Director of the Department of Public Safety.

At least the last two State Fire Marshals have been gubernatorial appointments.
