Bill > HB1086

This bill, known as the Preston Fant and Brant Chesney Firefighter Safety Act, requires owners of commercial, industrial, or multi-unit residential buildings (three or more units) to post a warning sign if the building uses "light-frame truss-type construction" (where the main supports are made of repetitive wood or light steel framing) or "engineered I-joists" (structural beams shaped like an "I" with a thin web between two flanges). This is intended to alert firefighters and other emergency responders to potential hazards associated with these construction methods. The Commissioner will establish rules for the sign's appearance, placement, and the timeline for compliance, and enforcement will be handled by the Commissioner, state fire marshal, and local fire marshals, with civil penalties for non-compliance.
