Relating to: allowing local governments to enact ordinances related to fire detection, prevention, or suppression in residential buildings.

SB 641 allows counties, cities, villages, and towns to create local ordinances for fire detection, prevention, and suppression in residential buildings. Specifically, it enables local governments to adopt rules for "public buildings that contain a dwelling" (as defined by state law), directly affecting residential building owners and local fire safety planning. The bill repeals an existing statute and adds a new provision (101.02 (7r) (h)) to permit these local ordinances without overriding state requirements. This change gives communities more flexibility to address fire safety needs in multi-unit residential structures.
