HB377 to repeal PA's sprinkler mandate just moved from L&I Committee to the House for consideration.
A motion made by Rep Keller to table the bill failed 16-8. An amendment to require homeowners to be given information regarding installing sprinklers prior to building a home was adopted unanimously. An amendment to allow homebuilders who secured a permit to build before the repeal of the sprinklers to opt out of installation was also adopted. An amendment that would allow municipalities to opt out of the sprinkler mandate was defeated. An amendment that would authorize the Department of Labor & Industry to collect data regarding cost of installation of sprinklers was also defeated. An amendment that would authorize a study be conducted was defeated. The bill will be on second consideration and will likely be voted on Wednesday. glc _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
