- —Supporting this Act means backing stronger fire safety rules in buildings, especially high-rise apartments. It aims to protect residents by making sure buildings are safer, fire risks are reduced, and people are properly warned if there's danger.
A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry about the costs for landlords and building owners to make improvements, which might be passed on to renters through higher rents. Some also question whether the rules are clear enough or go too far in some cases.
