The bill amends the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code to provide specific exceptions for residential developments regarding fire apparatus access roads. It introduces a new section, 18-10-101, which states that a residential development will not be required to maintain two or more separate and approved fire apparatus access roads under certain conditions.

These conditions specify that the residential development must not be located in a city of the first class, a city of the second class, or an incorporated town, and that each lot within the development must be at least one acre in size. This amendment aims to reduce regulatory burdens on certain residential developments while still ensuring safety standards are met.
