Insurance Agents aren't opposed to fire sprinklers, especially in Condominiums. The current law required the retrofitting of certain high-rise condo's by 2014. The governor vetoed it because that date was "extended" to 2025. That means he and the legislature could have enacted the "necessary" insurance changes and would still have five (5) years to reduce the 2025 deadline back to 2014 "if" they wanted to, or some other date of thier choosing. Under the governors veto we have neither safety or the "necessary" insurance changes for the next year and no safety until 2014; assumingwe can pass the bill again next year and it doesn't get vetoed again.
