HB 5148 restricts municipalities from requiring more than one stairway in certain multifamily residential buildings. It applies to structures with six or fewer stories that meet specific fire safety standards, including sprinkler systems and fire-resistant stairways. The bill prevents cities from adopting ordinances that mandate additional stairways in these buildings while preserving the right of property owners to impose stricter requirements​.
