relative to fire sprinkler requirements in residential buildings.

This law prevents local towns and cities from requiring fire sprinklers in new or existing single-family and two-family homes, as well as in buildings with four or fewer residential units. It also stops local officials from enforcing any past rules that mandated sprinklers in manufactured housing parks. While the state fire marshal can still grant exemptions for safety reasons, local governments are barred from adopting stricter fire safety rules than the state code for these specific residential properties. The changes take effect 60 days after the bill is signed into law.
