Bill Summary
Relative to automatic sprinklers in certain older high rise buildings. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 26A 1/2 of Chapter 148 of the Massachusetts General Laws to establish a schedule for the installation of automatic sprinklers in certain older high-rise buildings. The bill requires that one-third of the building's gross square footage be equipped with sprinklers by March 30, 2024, two-thirds by March 30, 2027, and the entire building by March 30, 2031. However, building owners may apply for an extension or waiver of these requirements. Alternatively, building owners can choose to equip the entire building with sprinklers by March 30, 2027, but this would result in waiving their right to any extension of time.
