§ 10-32. Alarm operator registration and fee.

(a)

Except as otherwise proved under the definition of "registration year," every fire alarm operator shall annually apply to the fire alarm administrator for a nontransferable fire alarm operator registration. The operator registration shall be valid for one registration year and then expire.

(b)

In accordance with the fee schedule established at Appendix A, a fee shall accompany each application or renewal for fire alarms on residential, commercial or governmental premises. The fee shall be proportionately adjusted for those operator registrations that have an initial period greater than one year. If an operator of a single-family residential has a valid permit for a burglar system, and the burglar alarm system and fire alarm system are a single integrated unit, then no separate fire alarm operator registration fee is required. One single fee as established at Appendix A shall suffice for both systems. The fire alarm administrator shall provide operator registration application forms that shall encompass both burglar alarm and fire alarm systems.

(c)

The fire alarm operator shall provide the following information:

(1)

The name, address and telephone number of the applicant(s);

(2)

The address of the fire alarm site;

(3)

The classification of the fire alarm site as residential, commercial, governmental;

(4)

The type of system(s), such as addressable; monitored; etc.;

(5)

The names, addresses and telephone numbers of two persons who have access to the premises, the ability to reset the alarm, and who, upon request of the fire department, will respond to the alarm site within 30 minutes of notification;

(6)

The name, address, and telephone numbers of the fire alarm monitoring company, if any;

(7)

The name, address, and telephone number of the installer and date of installation, if known;

(8)

The name, address and telephone number of the commercial entity that last performed maintenance on the fire alarm system, if known;

(9)

Any dangerous conditions present at the fire alarm site;

(d)

No operator registration will be issued when a fine or fees are outstanding, when a reason for a previous operator registration revocation has not been corrected, or if the applicant provides false information.

(e)

The fire alarm operator shall submit interim updated application information within 15 days of when the on-file information has changed. An operator registration may be revoked if it is found to contain inaccuracies.
