HB0088

Permits multi-family residential buildings of six or fewer stories to use a single exit instead of requiring multiple exits.

• Prohibits state agencies, counties, cities, and towns from requiring more than one exit to serve six or fewer stories of residential group R-2 occupancy (apartment houses, boarding houses, convents, dormitories, and similar buildings with sleeping units or more than two dwelling units). (W.S. 16-13-101(a))
• Allows counties, cities, and towns to adopt ordinances or resolutions requiring more than one exit for these buildings, but adoption of uniform building codes (such as the International Building Code) does not automatically prohibit single exits unless the ordinance or resolution expressly requires multiple exits. (W.S. 16-13-101(b))
