Amends the Rooftop Safety for First Responders Act. Provides that, no later than January 1, 2027, and every 2 years thereafter, each municipality shall complete a survey of new buildings (rather than just a survey of buildings) in its jurisdiction that have skylights and other openings located in the plane of a low-sloped roof. Provides that, within one year after the effective date of the amendatory Act, each municipality shall develop a methodology to collect data regarding the presence of skylights and other openings in the plane of low-sloped roofs of existing buildings by examining building permits and collecting information during required inspections of those properties.
Senate Committee Amendment No. 2: Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Limits all changes to the Rooftop Safety for First Responders Act in the introduced bill to municipalities with a population of fewer than 500,000 inhabitants, and makes conforming changes. In provisions regarding municipalities collecting data regarding skylights and specified other roof openings of existing buildings, provides that each municipality shall develop a methodology by examining building permits for new renovation projects or collecting information during required inspections of existing buildings (rather than by examining building permits and collecting information during required inspections of those properties).
