WITHDRAWN 03/10/2007
On page 1, after line 3, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1 The legislature finds that the residents of
Washington should be safe from life and property loss due to fire. The
legislature recognizes that there are substantial financial and
administrative burdens associated with the installation of fire
suppression and prevention systems in residential homes. It is the
intent of the legislature to commission the state building code council
to form a technical advisory group to research and develop a model
policy to encourage and facilitate the installation of additional
residential fire sprinkler systems. In the interest of safety and
efficiency, the legislature further intends that the efforts of the
state building code council avoid interference with the approval of any
local proposals to require sprinklers in homes."
Renumber the remaining section consecutively and correct the title.
EFFECT: Specifies legislative intent.
