AI Summary
This bill establishes fire protection requirements for short-term farm labor housing, which is defined as housing or sleeping places provided to seasonal workers for no more than three months as part of a farm labor camp. Specifically, it allows such housing to be considered compliant with the State Uniform Construction Code if it includes fire extinguishers, early warning fire protection devices like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and meets certain standards for entry and exit.
