HF 776: Relating to fire safety standards and children’s residential facilities

What it does

This bill directs the state fire marshal to adopt fire safety rules to exempt children’s residential facilities certified pursuant to Code chapter 237C that are college preparatory boarding and day high schools established in 1890 from the international fire code regulations and to provide for an inspection fee of not more than $100 for such facilities. The state fire marshal is directed to collaborate with the department of human services, the department of inspections and appeals, and other appropriate agencies and is required to take into consideration the size, nature, and purpose of children’s residential facilities in promulgating such rules.
