The bill mandates the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing to conduct a comprehensive study on the compliance and adequacy of fire safety code requirements specifically for basement egress windows in Iowa. This study will also evaluate the enforcement mechanisms available to property owners and renters when these windows do not meet the established fire safety standards.

Furthermore, the department is required to compile its findings and recommendations into a report, which must be submitted to the General Assembly by January 1, 2027. This initiative aims to enhance fire safety measures and ensure that basement egress windows comply with necessary regulations to protect residents.
