Summary

The bill amends Michigan’s building code (MCL 125.1501‑125.1531) by inserting a new Section 4j that permits a single exit stairway in multi‑family dwellings that have no more than six levels, provided specific conditions are met. This change would affect developers, builders, and owners of such residential structures by offering an alternative egress option while still aiming to protect occupant safety. It updates the 1972 Public Act 230 to reflect modern construction practices.
