is a fire rating thing, i think its supposed to be a 2 hour rating and 1 layer is only 1 hour or something similar to that.
Also if there are electrical boxes on that wall, boxes on different sides of the wall need to be 24" appart. So if an electrical outlet box for the garage, and one for the kitchen are in the same stud bay, thats a no-no too.
