This 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.
The exceptions apply if the residential development is not situated in a city of the first class, a city of the second class, or an incorporated town, and if each lot within the development is at least one acre in size. This change aims to reduce regulatory burdens on certain residential developments while still maintaining safety standards.
