Legislation to require sprinkler systems in new homes passed an Assembly panel today, but not before reigniting a debate about whether the safety measure would be worth the added cost amid a staggering economy.
The bill (A3278) would direct the state Department of Community Affairs to withhold occupancy permits for new one- and two-family homes unless they are equipped with sprinkler systems similar to those required in hotels, dormitories and apartment buildings.
Fire safety officials support the legislation, saying the systems have been proven to save lives and limit property damage caused by blazes. But opponents fear adding any additional costs to new home construction, an industry struggling to rebound after the recession.
