Bill Summary
Relative to fire protection systems for buildings and structures. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen fire protection standards for buildings and structures in Massachusetts. It clarifies that the state fire code applies to all buildings, including those owned or controlled by the Commonwealth and its subdivisions. The bill also updates various sections of state law to replace references to the "state building code" with the "state fire code," giving the Board of Fire Prevention Regulations more authority over fire safety regulations. Additionally, the bill provides the Board with the ability to set standards for the design, installation, and maintenance of fire protection and life safety systems. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2017 and will not apply to buildings that received a permit prior to that date.
