What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Safety and Professional Services to revise the commercial building code, which imposes standards on the construction and inspection of public buildings and places of employment, to establish separate standards for recreational and educational camps. The bill defines “recreational and educational camp” to have the same meaning as under rules of the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection for issuing permits to such camps.
Under the bill, with specified exceptions, a “recreational and educational camp” is a premises operated as an overnight living quarters where both food and lodging are provided for a planned program of recreation or education. The separate standard required under the bill must take into account the uses, including seasonal use, that are unique to recreational and educational camps. The bill also requires DSPS's rules for electrical wiring and plumbing systems to take into account the unique uses of those camps.
