STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27535 / H0472
This legislation would ensure uniformity and certainty to Home-builders as they build personal dwellings of 4
unites and under, nullifying the need to install a sprinkler system. Currently in Idaho most counties allow this
sprinklerless situation, but that position differs from the International Building Code and some local policies.
These political entities require sprikler systems on all personal dwellings larger than 2 unites. We want to
provide Statewide consistency and confidence in the bidding process with this legislation .
FISCAL NOTE
