New RV fire-safety rules and penalties

The law requires the Commissioner of Public Safety to set and update fire-safety rules for recreational vehicles. The rules use the NFPA 1192 definition of a recreational vehicle. RV owners and operators in Maine must follow these rules where the commissioner has authority. Breaking a rule is a Class E crime. It is strict liability, so prosecutors do not need to prove intent. This improves safety for RV users and the public but adds compliance and legal risk for violators.
