An Act
relating to:
an audit of fire sprinkler systems in certain residential
2
buildings and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Safety and Professional Services to perform an audit to determine whether automatic fire sprinklers are installed on specified residential buildings. Under the bill, a “specified residential building” is an apartment building, rowhouse, town house, or condominium that consists of eight or more dwelling units and that has a dwelling unit located two or more stories above grade plane in height. The bill requires DSPS to submit a report on the audit to the governor, the chief clerk of each house of the legislature, and the appropriate standing committees of the legislature by September 30, 2026. The bill also authorizes two project positions for performing the audit.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
