On December 12, 2007, the State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council (Code Council) requested that the Department of State (DOS) establish a committee to gather information regarding the potential impact of mandating fire suppression systems in one-and two-family residences.
The Residential Sprinkler Committee shall collect information that considers the potential impact of revising the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (Uniform Code) to require the installation of fire suppression systems in one-and two-family residences, and shall report its findings to the Code Council for further consideration. The report shall include, but not be limited to:
The Committee shall be comprised of a representative of each of the following (invited) organizations:
The Committee shall conduct two face-to-face meetings, and additional meetings via conference call as necessary to achieve its work in a timely manner. Meetings of the Committee shall be facilitated by staff of the Division of Building Standards and Codes and Office of Fire Prevention and Control. A meeting schedule and other pertinent information regarding the Committee shall be posted on the DOS web site. In addition to the scheduled meetings of the Committee, a Public Forum shall be conducted to allow public input.

The subcommittee meetings are open to the public. Meetings are being held utilizing tele-conference phone systems and do not necessarily have a meeting location. Therefore, any person wishing to participate or listen to a tele-conference meeting needs to make prior arrangements with the Raymond Andrews or John Mueller no later than two business days prior to the meeting. Any person wishing for committee members to review material or information during the public comment period or any other part of the agenda shall submit the information to the DOS Staff no later than 5 days prior to the meeting. Electronically submitted information is preferred, such as, but not limited to, Adobe Print Document Format (PDF), Microsoft Office Programs, and WordPerfect. Please contact your Subcommittee Chairperson about the specifics of submitting information.
From time to time, the Subcommittee Chairperson may have a location where those parties interested in participating or listening to the meeting will be welcome. The DOS Staff has the right to request interested parties to participate at a location or to participate by tele-conference. The location of a meeting, if one is convened, will not necessarily be in the Capital Region. Furthermore, a meeting that is held at a location may still have committee members participating by tele-conference and the submitted information requirements in the previous paragraph apply.
