This bill prohibits cities, villages, towns, and counties (political subdivisions)
and state agencies from requiring the testing of audible devices of fire alarm systems
in the state capitol building later than 9 a.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and
Thursdays. If a political subdivision or state agency has adopted an ordinance or
promulgated a rule that imposes such a requirement, the bill provides that the
ordinance or rule does not apply and may not be enforced.
