Summary

The law adds a new provision that lets local governments approve apartment buildings with only one interior stairway if they meet detailed size, construction, and fire‑protection requirements. It also updates how localities adopt and enforce building codes and exempts single‑family and two‑unit homes from mandatory sprinkler rules. The changes aim to give flexibility for smaller multifamily projects while maintaining safety.
