Defines emergency responder radio coverage requirements (Requirements) to mean those requirements for in-building emergency responder communications enhancement systems specified under Section 510 of the North Carolina Fire Prevention Code (Code). Exempts four structures from the Requirements, including apartments and transients public lodging establishments that meet certain height or story requirements with the requisite egress. Directs that an emergency responder radio coverage system installed prior to the effective date of the act in a building or structure that meets the exemption criteria is not be required to be removed and allows those systems to be deactivated. Requires the Building Code Council to adopt rules to amend the Code in line with the provisions of the Requirements. Applies the APA’s effective date provisions triggered when 10 or more written objections are received to the rule (GS 150B-21.3). Specifies that the provisions of the APA requiring review by the rules commission do not apply. Until permanent rules are adopted as discussed above, instructs the Council and local governments enforcing the Code not to enforce the emergency responder radio coverage requirements against buildings and structures that meet the exemption criteria and instead allow for deactivation of such systems instead.
