A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4504 AS INTRODUCED 3-20-01
The Fire Prevention Code requires the State Fire Safety Board to promulgate rules pertaining to fire safety requirements for the construction, operation, or maintenance of, among others, schools and dormitories. This includes state-supported schools, colleges, and universities as well as school, college, and university dormitories. House Bill 4504 would amend the Fire Prevention Code to specify that the rules promulgated by the board require installation of an automatic sprinkler system in each dormitory.
