Steve at least in RI it is decided locally.
They just changed the rules to make it mandatory to install sprinklers in all buildings above 50 persons capacity.
No grandfathering the old buildings must be updated.
Providence's City Hall is looking for an exception as it will be a "hardship" to install the the sprinklers.

(Good way to set an example)
The FD just before Xmas went to city hall and removed all the real Xmas trees from city hall as they where a fire hazard.

I expect city hall will now cut the FDs budget.
