Kansas repeals fire and housing statutes
The law repeals older state rules that defined apartment houses and set how Kansas adopted its fire code. It also removes a section that defined key housing terms tied to public financial help. This shifts how fire and housing standards are set and enforced statewide. Agencies now rely on the new framework in this act to adopt and apply the fire code. For homeowners, renters, and builders, safety and design rules can change as new rules are issued.
