Updates and changes to IAC 661-Chapters 200, 201, 300, 301, 302 and 350 will need to be postponed. The main reason for this was that proposed changes are coming less than a year from when the 2015 code editions will be published. The Department of Public Safety leadership decided that it would be cost prohibitive for the State but also for stakeholders to adopt two ICC Code editions within such short period of time. Please note that only the state energy code will be updated and it is because federal regulations mandate substantial compliance (by 2017) with certain standards set in the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and the adoption of the 2012 energy code can establish progress toward compliance.

Division of the State Fire Marshal

The State Fire Marshal Division (SFM), established in 1911, is the oldest of the five divisions within the Department of Public Safety. SFM was created to collect statistics on fire in Iowa and to develop fire safety regulations. Through promotion and enforcement of fire safety regulations, building code provisions and arson investigation, the four bureau's which comprise this division continue to have responsibility for reducing the loss of life and property by fire. Presently the Division has 28 sworn officers and 45 civilian employees.

The division is comprised of five (5) bureaus:

• Fire Prevention Inspection
• Arson and Explosives
• Building Code
• Fire Service Training
• Electrical Licensing and Inspection
