HD 1951 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to fire safety of state-owned buildings, structures and property

This bill requires all state-owned buildings, structures, and property (except the State House) to comply with the existing state fire code and enforcement rules. It directly affects state agencies and facilities by mandating adherence to fire safety standards already established for private buildings. The key provision designates the Head of the Fire Department to enforce these fire code requirements specifically for Commonwealth-owned properties. The law applies to all state-owned properties across cities, towns, and districts, ensuring consistent fire safety oversight. It takes effect immediately upon passage without creating new fire safety standards.
