AI Summary

This bill authorizes municipalities to require automatic sprinkler protection systems in newly constructed one and two-family residential dwellings. It adds a new section to the state's fire protection laws that would mandate sprinkler systems in such buildings, with the head of the local fire department responsible for enforcement. The bill also exempts the seasonal shut-off of these sprinkler systems from certain existing laws, allowing the Board of Fire Prevention Regulations to establish procedures for such shutoffs.
