Making Waves on Capitol Hill for the Fire
Sprinkler Incentive Act

• HR 1742
• S 582

11
Fire Sprinkler Incentive Act

• The present tax code establishes a fire
  sprinkler depreciation schedule of 39 years for
  commercial and 27 ½ years for residential
  occupancies

39 Years !!! WHY?
12
Fire Sprinkler Incentive Act

• Obviously, no economic incentive for the
  retrofit of fire sprinklers in commercial and
  residential occupancies! It takes education to
  the policy makers!

13
Fire Sprinkler Incentive Act

• To date there are
• 135 house co-sponsors
• and
• 21 Senate co-sponsors
