“The section has been revised by creating a list identifying the requirements for Group R-2 & R-3 occupancies separately.
For a Group R-2 occupancy, it has been clarified that EERO are only required on those stories having only one complying exit. A single exit would be permitted under the allowances established in Section 1006.3.3 although this requirement is intended by the 2015 IBC, the inclusion of scoping language in Section 1030.1 no longer requires the code user to view Section 1006.3.2 to determine applicability.
The application to Group R-4 occupancies has also been clarified by adding it to the scoping list. As a general rule, Group R-4 occupancies are required to comply with the design and construction requirements for Group R-3 occupancies. Therefore, its addition to the scoping provisions only provides further clarification.”

Mostly reorganization, some adjustments, a new exception for basement bedrooms.
Nothing earth shattering, really. May actually be more user friendly in the long run.

And it all based on the building being sprinkled. So if you have a amendment to the sprinkler requirements you might want to look at amending this section
