The bill amends the Stille-DeRossett-Hale single state construction code act by adding a new section, 4e, which establishes specific classifications for buildings that serve as virtual learning centers. According to the new provision, such buildings must be classified under the business occupancy classification rather than the educational occupancy classification, regardless of any contrary provisions in the existing act or rules.

Additionally, the bill defines a "virtual learning center" as an organization that offers educational support, counseling, and administrative services to students in grades 9 to 12 engaged in virtual education courses, explicitly stating that these centers do not provide routine in-person instruction. This classification aims to clarify the regulatory framework for virtual learning centers within Michigan's construction code.
