This bill establishes new regulations regarding exit requirements for multi-family dwellings in Wyoming. Specifically, it mandates that no state agency, county, city, or town can require more than one exit for residential buildings classified as "Residential group R-2 occupancy" that are six stories or fewer. This classification includes various types of residential units such as apartment houses and dormitories. However, the bill allows local governments to adopt ordinances that may require more than one exit, provided that such ordinances explicitly state this requirement and do not conflict with any adopted uniform building codes.
The legislation aims to streamline building codes and enhance flexibility for developers and builders while ensuring safety standards are met. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
