GA HB1086

Requires owners of commercial buildings, industrial buildings, and residential buildings with 3+ units to post warning signs if the structure uses light-frame truss-type construction or engineered I-joists (EIJ)

Warning signs must alert firefighters and emergency responders to the presence of these construction types, which can pose structural collapse risks during fires

Commissioner must establish regulations specifying sign dimensions, colors, required posting locations, and compliance deadlines

Enforcement authority granted to the Commissioner, state fire marshal, and local fire marshals, with civil penalties for non-compliant building owners

Named after Preston Fant and Brant Chesney, firefighters presumably killed or injured due to structural failures involving these construction types
