(a) The state fire marshal is authorized and directed to enforce the provisions of Insurance Code Chapter 6003 and this subchapter. The state fire marshal must make, or cause to be made, inspections from time to time and as circumstances dictate to determine that licensed firms and persons engaged in the business act in conformity with the requirements of the law and this subchapter.     
      (b) Such inspections shall be made by the state fire marshal or the state fire marshal's representative. When an inspection discloses violations of the law or this subchapter, the firm or person responsible for correcting the violation shall be notified within 30 days after completion of the inspection report. In all cases in which a violation is not corrected within a reasonable time, the state fire marshal shall take such steps as may be necessary to enforce correction of the violation and may initiate appropriate administrative action.
