Carbon dioxide systems used in businesses—such as those found in commercial refrigeration or beverage dispensing that store, use, or dispense 100 pounds or more of CO2—would face new state oversight under this bill. Starting January 1, 2027, businesses that service these systems (through inspection, installation, maintenance, repair, or modification) would need to be licensed by the state fire marshal, and the individual workers performing that service would generally need their own certification from the state fire marshal, with exceptions for fire officers and trainees working under a certified supervisor for up to 45 business days. The Utah Fire Prevention Board would be required to create rules, application forms, and fees governing how businesses and individuals obtain, renew, and lose these licenses and certifications, with applicants needing to submit an application, show evidence of competency, and pay the required fee.
