Overview
This bill establishes minimum fire safety requirements for short-term housing provided to seasonal farm workers, known as ‘short-term farm labor housing.’ It mandates the installation of fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, along with specific ingress and egress standards. The bill aims to ensure these facilities meet certain aspects of the State Uniform Construction Code, effectively deeming compliant housing that meets these fire protection measures. The legislation also directs the Commissioner of Community Affairs to develop and implement rules to support these requirements.
