Workgroup accepts reorganization of multiplex provisions; tightens egress and fire-resistance language The council workgroup voted to accept a reorganized multiplex (up to six-unit) appendix consolidating fire-resistance assemblies, opening protectives, and detailed means-of-egress rules (36-inch minimum width, 125-foot travel distance). Members approved posting illustrative figures and will finalize remaining editorial items at the next meeting.

A major overhaul of multiplex building codes has been approved, streamlining fire safety and egress requirements to better protect occupants in emergencies.
