HR 291 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

FIRE PROTECTION: Creates a task force to study the feasibility of transitioning from the National Fire Protection Association's life safety and construction codes

This resolution creates a task force to study whether Louisiana should switch from the National Fire Protection Association's fire safety codes to the International Code Council's building and fire codes. The task force will include representatives from fire departments, municipal associations, and legislative committees to examine the potential impacts of this change. Members will hold public hearings to gather input from experts and the public before submitting their findings and recommendations to the legislature by February 1, 2025. The bill does not immediately change any laws but establishes a group to evaluate the feasibility of a future transition.
