Subject: [EPARADE] Sprinkler Supporters Win RB129-16 Online Vote !!!


ICC has posted the results of online voting on Proposal RB129-16, which sought 
to repeal the IRC requirement for all new homes to be equipped with fire 
sprinklers.

The IRC committee disapproved this proposal, and now, the online vote 
challenging that decision has failed by a vote of 131 (16%) “For” to 697 (84%) 
“Against.”

The online vote sends a powerful message to those who have continued to attack 
the IRC sprinkler requirement, and we can remain hopeful that there will be no 
public comments seeking further action on this proposal.  However, if a public 
comment is submitted, another online vote will be conducted in November to 
determine the final outcome.  We’ll update you after public comments are 
published on September 9th.
