This bill establishes fire protection requirements specifically for short-term farm labor housing, which is defined as accommodations provided to seasonal workers for periods not exceeding three months as part of a farm labor camp. The bill mandates that such housing must include fire protection measures, including the installation of fire extinguishers and early warning devices like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as standards for ingress and egress. Compliance with these fire protection measures will ensure that the housing meets the standards set forth in the State Uniform Construction Code.

Additionally, the bill requires the Commissioner of Community Affairs to adopt necessary rules and regulations to modify the State Uniform Construction Code in alignment with these new provisions within six months of the bill's enactment. The act will take effect on the first day of the sixth month following its enactment, although the Commissioner may take anticipatory actions to implement its provisions sooner.
