Paul Childers, State Representative District 83. Senators, what House Bill 1991 is. It's a bill to protect property owners' rights. This bill adds an exemption to the current state fire code.
The current fire code and I had some handouts for you to kind of give you just a little bit of. Understanding of it. What the current fire code says, if a landowner only has one entrance into his property, and he decides to sell it or develop it for a development. They only have 30 houses in that development. No matter how big it is, without putting sprinkler systems in each house. We've done a little research on sprinkler systems and they can cost up to about $6 a square foot for a sprinkler system to go into a house. Currently this
bill is not really this law is not really being enforced unless somebody calls the fire marshal and then if somebody calls him, then he goes out and says, oh, you only got one entrance, so you have to stop, you know, construction or you have to get a second easement. And what we have a lot of times in Western Saline County is you'll have road frontage it's been there forever, but you'll have a. 40-foot easement going into a, a tract of land that your family's own forever, but behind it is private land and private land and private land, and there's no
way to get a second entrance. So what we did, we, we created this bill and this bill will allow landowners to put more than 30 houses on their land without sprinklers or without a second entrance. It will exclude any land inside of city limits. It'll only deal with rural property, um, I have a couple of witnesses here, Mr. Chairman, if you think uh you would like to hear from them there, one of them's a real estate agent and one of them is a home builder to talk about kind of what they're seeing in our around central Arkansas. All right, let's, let's go in and take what
