The state fire marshal may delegate to the department of health and human services or any political subdivision the authority to conduct investigations, surveys, or inspections, and the authority to enforce compliance where violations are discovered, which become the responsibility of the department of health and human services or political subdivision and otherwise would be the responsibility of the state fire marshal. Any delegation to the department of health and human services is limited to authority over basic care facilities. Any political subdivision that meets the state fire marshal's minimum standard requirements may be delegated authority under this section. A political subdivision may refuse the delegation.
