Whether it's required or not, you should have it covered. If you go to your local hardware store, and read
the warning label on fiberglass insulation, you'll see that there are cancer concerns related to fiberglass
insulation of any kind.

I think in 10 years we'll see some major changes to fiberglass usage and warning labels. But until then,
play it safe and get the extra barrier put over the fiberglass.
