New Jersey residential fire sprinkler bill is up for consideration

摘要

Fire sprinkler systems could soon be required in all new homes built in New Jersey. Just this past November, the New Jersey Assembly Housing and Local Government Committee passed Bill A3278, re- quiring fire suppression systems in one- and two-family homes. Now the bill heads to New Jersey's Full Assembly. Senate bill S-2287 is also up for consideration. If passed, to ensure compliance, the law would be en- forced by a state or municipal enforcement agency and require a certificate of occupancy to be issued after a fire sprinkler system is installed in a home.
