     6  fied inspector, as determined by the  local  government,  to  perform  a
     7  quarterly  fire safety inspection of any commercial building where bicy-

    20  compliance with all relevant laws and regulations by an appropriate  and
    21  qualified inspector as determined by the local government.
    22    §  2.  This  act  shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
    23  have become a law.
