 14 form of a resolution, approved by a majority vote by the county legisla-
 15 ture, board of supervisors, or board of legislatures and then approved
 16 by the county executive, where the county has a county executive, which

 18 county is not providing administration and enforcement of the uniform
 19 fire prevention and building code that complies with the minimum stand-

 21 tary shall investigate and may conduct hearings in accordance with the
 22 provisions of this subdivision. The secretary shall not begin an inves-
 23 tigation into a local government under this paragraph unless the local
 24 government received a copy of the official notice and has had one month
 25 to respond to the official notice and submit such response to the secre-
 26 tary.
