AN ACT relating to the Kentucky Building Code.

This bill would change Kentucky's building code to allow certain residential apartment-style buildings with fewer than six stories to be designed with only one exit stairway or exit route, rather than requiring multiple exits. Building codes set minimum safety standards for construction, so this change would affect how some multi-unit residential buildings are planned and built in Kentucky. Who it may affect: residential building developers and contractors, local building code officials, and people who live or plan to live in mid-rise apartment buildings.
