What’s in it
AI summary New rules would stop the state and local governments from requiring fire sprinkler systems in small groups of attached single-family homes. This change applies to any group of connected houses that has fewer than seven units.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires the state building code commissioner to adopt as part of the state building code a prohibition on the required installation of a fire protection sprinkler system in a series of attached single-family residences consisting of fewer than seven units. The bill also prohibits a local building regulation from requiring the installation of a fire protection sprinkler system in a series of attached single-family residences consisting of fewer than seven units.
Why it matters. People building or living in series of attached single-family homes with fewer than seven units would no longer be required to install fire protection sprinkler systems. This change applies to both state building codes and local building regulations.2
Changed since by amendment S-5046; see Amendments.
