Don't let it rain.. I mean sprinkle!

There will be a floor amendment to a bill, HB 2659 by Representative Fred Jordan,that will prohibit a municipality from mandating residential fire sprinklers in one- and two-family dwellings. We were successful in getting the fire sprinkler mandate removed from the statewide building code, but it was left in the appendix. That meant that a city could put the code in their requirements. Our amendment would prohibit such an action. This is critical to our industry as we have already had to fight this issue in a couple of towns. Let's say NO to mandated fire sprinkle
