The Business and Labor Interim Committee recommends this bill after a one-year fire code review. The bill adopts the 2018 International Fire Code with amendments, the 2016 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code with amendments, and the 2016 National Fire Protection Associations 2016 Installation of Sprinkler Systems. 

The bill exempts single family homes outside wild and urban interface on single-lot subdivisions with 50 feet of defensible space from installing a fire sprinkler system. 

The bill amends requirements under the 2018 International Fire Code for Group A-2 restaurants and bars that serve alcoholic beverages with an occupant load of 300 or more from retrofitting their establishments with heightened fire sprinkler systems.
