Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to safety requirements for residential facilities; amending sections 3 and 9, chapter 91, Oregon Laws 2022; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill modifies safety requirements for small residential facilities, specifically single-family detached dwellings used as residential training homes or adult foster homes. The bill extends an existing exemption from automatic sprinkler system requirements, changing the deadline from July 1, 2026 to July 1, 2028. This exemption applies to licensed facilities serving five or fewer individuals, provided they meet all other fire, life, and safety requirements established by the Department of Human Services or the Oregon Health Authority. Additionally, the bill adjusts the repeal date of the original provision from January 2, 2027 to January 2, 2029. The bill is declared an emergency measure, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage, with the stated purpose of preserving public peace, health, and safety. This legislation appears to provide continued flexibility for small residential care facilities regarding building code requirements, giving them more time to comply with or adapt to sprinkler system regulations.
