A 2426 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires fire suppression systems in new single and two family homes.

This bill requires fire suppression systems in all new single and two-family homes built after its effective date, excluding manufactured homes and homes not connected to public water systems. It amends the State Uniform Construction Code to mandate specific system standards, including separate shut-off valves and a dedicated water meter for fire suppression. Local building officials must verify compliance before issuing a certificate of occupancy for new homes. The requirement takes effect seven months after enactment and does not apply to homes with building permits approved prior to that date.
