New Hampshire's Virtual Town Hall
Senate: No sprinkler mandate
The Senate today passed legislation prohibiting the requirement that sprinklers be installed in one and two-family homes.
The legislation also creates a committee to study municipal residential fire sprinkler requirements.
The House passed HB 1486 in March.
Opponents say the sprinkler requirement is too expensive for homeowners and an overreach of state government. Supporters, including State Fire Marshal William Degnan, argue that sprinkler systems save lives.
The bill needs Gov. Lynch's signature before it becomes law.
