Amends existing law to revise a certain exemption regarding fire sprinkler systems.
This legislation would ensure uniformity and certainty to Home-builders as they build personal dwellings of 4 unites and under, nullifying the need to install a sprinkler system. Currently in Idaho most counties allow this sprinklerless situation, but that position differs from the International Building Code and some local policies. These political entities require sprikler systems on all personal dwellings larger than 2 unites. We want to provide Statewide consistency and confidence in the bidding process with this legislation .
