It requires a minimum of two exits for buildings with an occupancy of 75-400 persons and specifies that a second floor used for assembly must have equivalent egress and fire extinguishers as the first floor. The bill also requires an inspection by an authority having jurisdiction for any agritourism business seeking an exemption from state fire code.
