Bill Summary

Amends the Capital Development Board Act. Provides that each municipality and county shall provide the Capital Development Board a list of all residential high-rise buildings in their respective jurisdictions that: (1) were not subject to a requirement to include a sprinkler system at the time the building was constructed; and (2) either have a partial sprinkler system that does not cover all areas of the building, including living units, or have not been retrofitted with a sprinkler system. Provides that the requirement does not apply to a home rule municipality that has more than 2,000,000 inhabitants. Provides that the Capital Development Board shall not be held liable for the accuracy of the information.

AI Summary

This bill requires municipalities and counties to provide the Capital Development Board (CDB), a state agency, with a list of residential high-rise buildings within their jurisdiction that were not originally required to have a sprinkler system and either have an incomplete sprinkler system or none at all. A "residential high-rise building" is defined as a residential building that is at least 75 feet tall or has 7 or more stories. This requirement is intended to create a database of such buildings to inform safety measures. However, this mandate does not apply to large home rule municipalities with over 2,000,000 residents, and the CDB will not be held responsible for the accuracy of the information provided to it. The CDB will then compile this information into a publicly available electronic document.
