Missoula County opposes SB 178: Prohibiting state building codes from requiring mandatory fire sprinklers, up for hearing tomorrow morning in the Senate Judiciary Committee. If passed, this bill would prevent the adoption of any codes that would require sprinklers in single family dwellings. Currently, there are no such codes adopted in Building/Life Safety Codes; however, this bill could start a slippery slope of state statute limiting what codes can be adopted. The ability for local jurisdictions to require residential fire sprinklers provides an essential life safety measure in developments or areas that do not have sufficient infrastructure to otherwise address these concerns.
