What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
