HB 2284 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Prohibits fire protection district boards from enacting ordinances that subject agriculture buildings to certain fire safety requirements

HB 2284 prohibits fire protection districts and counties from requiring fire sprinkler systems or imposing fire safety regulations on agricultural buildings used for livestock or animal farming, such as barns and stables. The bill explicitly blocks ordinances that would mandate permits, inspections, or specific fire safety measures for these farm structures. This directly affects farmers and ranchers operating livestock facilities by removing a potential regulatory requirement. The law replaces an existing statute to ensure agricultural buildings are exempt from fire safety rules that would otherwise apply to non-farm properties.
