Anyone know when this (below) was enacted? That is, interconnected smoke alarms.

National Fire Protection Association 72,
the National Fire Alarm Code, now requires in new homes hard-wired, interconnected smoke alarms with battery back-up on every level of the home, outside each sleeping area, and inside each bedroom. It also requires that alarms be wired together so that if one sounds, they all sound.
