HOUSE BILL 639
Dwellings, heat, fire walls
BUILDING CODES – Amends existing law to require certain heat detection devices in certain attached garages and to provide an exemption from a requirement of fire sprinklers for certain multiple family dwellings with fire walls.
RS31451 / H0639
This legislation would clarify building code requirements for multifamily units up to 2 units on the same side (Fourplex) by not requiring sprinklers when a 2 hour fire wall is constructed between the units and to require for single and multi-family residences that a heat detection device be installed in the garage.
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
