§ 13216 Local High-Rise Safety Rules

• •Cities or counties can make stricter rules for tall buildings than the state's rules.
• •These stricter rules can be about fire safety or preventing panic in emergencies.
• •The local rules can't be weaker than the state's rules, only stronger.

A city decides that all tall buildings must have extra fire exits.

The state says tall buildings need at least two fire exits, but the city can say they need three or more to keep people safer.
