It also addressed false fire alarms, fireworks sales, emergency action plans, exit lighting, fire protection systems, emergency power systems, and water supplies for firefighting outside the Urban Development Boundary. The matter was introduced on March 3, 2026, and was ultimately withdrawn by the Safety and Health Committee on June 8, 2026, with a reference to Substitute File No. 261040.
