Posts - Bill - S 504 High Rise Fire Sprinkler Incentive Act of 2025

senate 02/10/2025 - 119th Congress

We're proposing legislation to amend the tax code so that certain retrofits of automatic fire sprinkler systems in high-rise residential buildings can be depreciated over 15 years. This change aims to provide a financial incentive for building owners to enhance fire safety by upgrading their sprinkler systems.

Yet another government intervention! Let the market decide how to handle property upgrades.

Depreciating sprinkler systems over 15 years could be a reasonable compromise between safety needs and business costs.

This is a move in the right direction, prioritizing public safety over endless corporate profits!
