HB241 Alabama 2013 Session
Bill Summary
Under existing law, Department of Human Resources defines a daycare home and night time home as one allowed to care for six children or less. In 2010, the State Fire Marshal adopted by reference the International Fire Code requiring a sprinkler system in such homes if they care for more than five children. Family residential homes in Alabama are not routinely equipped with sprinkler systems
This bill would allow daycare homes and night time homes to continue to care for six children without the installation of a sprinkler system
To amend Sections 38-7-3 and 38-7-7, Code of Alabama 1975, to allow family daycare homes and night time homes to care for six children without the requirement of having a sprinkler system installed in the home, notwithstanding the Alabama Administrative Code Section 482-2-101-.02.
