The State Fire Marshal shall adopt and submit building standards for approval pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 of Division 13 for the purposes described in this section. Regulations adopted pursuant to this subdivision and building standards relating to fire and panic safety published in the California Building Standards Code shall establish minimum requirements relating to the means of egress and the adequacy of exits from, the installation and maintenance of fire extinguishing and fire alarm systems in, the storage and handling of combustible or explosive materials or substances, and the installation and maintenance of appliances, equipment, decorations, security bars, grills, grates, and furnishings that present a fire, explosion, or panic hazard, and the minimum requirements shall be predicated on the height and fire-resistive qualities of the building or structure and the type of occupancy for which it is to be used. The building standards and other regulations shall apply to auxiliary or accessory buildings used or intended for use with any of the occupancies mentioned in this subdivision. Violation of any building standard or other regulation shall be a violation of this chapter. In preparing and adopting building standards for approval pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 of Division 13, and in preparing and adopting other regulations affecting public schools, the State Fire Marshal shall also secure the advice of the State Department of Education.

In addition to any other requirements for location of exit signs or devices in any building or structure used or intended for use as an asylum, jail, mental hospital, hospital, home for the elderly, children's nursery, children's home or institution not otherwise excluded from the coverage of this subdivision, school, or any similar occupancy of any capacity, and in any assembly occupancy where 50 or more persons may gather together in a building, room, or structure for the purpose of amusement, entertainment, instruction, deliberation, worship, drinking or dining, awaiting transportation, or education, the State Fire Marshal shall adopt building standards pursuant to this section establishing minimum requirements for the placement of distinctive devices, signs, or other means that identify exits and can be felt or seen near the floor. Exit sign technologies permitted by the model building code upon which the California Building Standards Code is based, shall be permitted. These building standards shall be adopted before July 1, 1998, and shall apply to all newly constructed buildings or structures subject to this subdivision for which a building permit is issued, or construction commenced, if no building permit is issued, on or after January 1, 1989. (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) and Section 13143.6, facilities licensed pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 1500) of Division 2 which provide nonmedical board, room, and care for six or fewer ambulatory children placed with the licensee for care or foster family homes and family day care homes for children, licensed pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1597.50) of Division 2, with a capacity of six or fewer and providing care and supervision for ambulatory children or children two years of age or younger, or both, shall not be subject to Article 1 (commencing with Section 13100) or Article 2 (commencing with Section 13140) of this chapter or regulations adopted pursuant thereto. No city, county, or public district shall adopt or enforce any requirement for the prevention of fire, or for the protection of life and property against fire and panic, with respect to structures used as facilities specified in this subdivision, unless the requirement would be applicable to a structure regardless of the special occupancy. Nothing in this subdivision shall restrict the application of state or local housing standards to those facilities, if the standards are applicable to residential occupancies and are not based upon the use of the structure as a facility specified in this subdivision. "Ambulatory children," as used in this subdivision, does not include nonambulatory persons, as defined in Section 13131, and relatives of the licensee or the licensee's spouse. (c) The State Fire Marshal shall adopt building standards establishing regulations providing that all school classrooms constructed after January 1, 1990, not equipped with automatic sprinkler systems, which have metal grills or bars on all their windows and do not have at least two exit doors within three feet of each end of the classroom opening to the exterior of the building or to a common hallway used for evacuation purposes, shall have an inside release for the grills or bars on at least one window farthest from the exit doors. The window or windows with the inside release shall be clearly marked as an emergency exit, in accordance with regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal. 13143.1. (a) Except as provided in Section 18930, the State Fire Marshal, with the advice of the State Board of Fire Services, shall prepare, adopt, and submit building standards for approval pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 of Division 13 establishing minimum requirements for the prevention of fire and for the protection of life and property against fire and panic in any motion picture or television production facility. (b) In accordance with Section 13143.5, this subdivision shall not limit the authority of a city, county, city and county, or special district to set, pursuant to this division, stricter standards than those adopted pursuant to this section. 13143.2. (a) Except as provided in Section 18930, the State Fire Marshal shall adopt, amend, and repeal fire safety rules and regulations, and, except as otherwise provided in this part and Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 17910) of Division 13, the State Fire Marshal shall enforce building standards published in the California Building Standards Code and those other rules and regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal for the provision of structural fire safety and fire-resistant exits in multiple-story structures existing on January 1, 1975, let for human habitation, including, and limited to, apartment houses, hotels, and motels wherein rooms used for sleeping are let above the ground floor. The State Fire Marshal shall adopt, amend, or repeal, and shall submit building standards for approval pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 of Division 13. The rules and regulations and building standards shall provide adequate safety to the occupants and the general public, and shall be consistent with the requirements contained in subdivisions (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (k), and ( l) of Section 1215 of Part 2 of the California Building Standards Code, 1990 edition, or similar successor standards of the California Building Standards Code. Except as provided in Section 18930, the department, with the written approval of the State Fire Marshal, may allow reasonable exceptions to subdivisions (e) and (g) of Section 1215 of Part 2 of the California Building Standards Code, 1990 edition, or similar successor standards of the California Building Standards Code, to permit the continued use of existing stairs and to subdivision ( l) of Section 1215 to permit equivalent protection in lieu of occupancy separations. However, the exceptions shall not impair occupant safety and shall be consistent with the legislative intent of this section. The building standards adopted by the State Fire Marshal and submitted for approval pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 of Division 13 shall not require that interior stairs and vertical openings be enclosed in two-story buildings. (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), any city, county, or city and county may adopt building standards for structural fire safety and fire-resistant exits in structures subject to this section. However, those building standards shall be substantially equivalent in fire safety to, or more stringent in fire safety than, the building standards published in the California Building Standards Code. Each city, county, or city and county adopting alternative standards shall submit a detailed statement, with supporting data, to the State Fire Marshal of the alternate standards to the state building standards and other regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal. The State Fire Marshal shall make a finding as to whether the alternative local standards are equivalent to the requirements of the California Building Standards Code. It is the intention of the Legislature that the building standards adopted and published in the California Building Standards Code shall be consistent with the requirements for new construction contained in the Uniform Building Code, 1988 edition, as adopted by the International Conference of Building Officials or similar successor standards adopted in accordance with Section 18928, except as otherwise required by state or federal law. (c) This section shall not apply to any apartment house, hotel, or motel existing on May 14, 1979, having floors, as measured from the top of the floor surface, used for human occupancy located more than 75 feet above the lowest floor level having building access which is subject to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 13210) of Part 2 of Division 12 relating to high rise buildings existing on May 14, 1979.

(a) Notwithstanding Part 2 (commencing with Section 13100) of Division 12, Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 17910) of Division 13, and Part 2.5 (commencing with Section 18901) of Division 13, any city, county, or city and county may, by ordinance, make changes or modifications that are more stringent than the requirements published in the California Building Standards Code relating to fire and panic safety and the other regulations adopted pursuant to this part. Any changes or modifications that are more stringent than the requirements published in the California Building Standards Code relating to fire and panic safety shall be subject to subdivision (b) of Section 18941.5. (b) Nothing in this section shall authorize a local jurisdiction to mandate, nor prohibit a local jurisdiction from mandating, the installation of residential fire sprinkler systems within newly constructed dwelling units or in new additions to existing dwelling units, including, but not limited to, manufactured homes as defined in Section 18007. (c) Nothing in this section shall authorize a local jurisdiction to mandate, nor prohibit a local jurisdiction from mandating, the retrofitting of existing dwelling units for the installation of residential fire sprinkler systems, including, but not limited to, manufactured homes as defined in Section 18007. (d) Nothing in this section shall apply in any manner to litigation filed prior to January 1, 1991, regarding an ordinance or regulation which mandates the installation of residential fire sprinkler systems within newly constructed dwelling units or new additions to existing dwelling units.

(f) (1) A city, county, or city and county that adopts an ordinance relating to fire and panic safety pursuant to this section shall delegate the enforcement of the ordinance to either of the following: (A) The chief of the fire authority of the city, county, or city and county, or his or her authorized representative. (B) The chief building official of the city, county, or city and county, or his or her authorized representative. (2) Any fee charged pursuant to the enforcement authority of this subdivision shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged, pursuant to Section 66014 of the Government Code. (g) On or before October 1, 1991, and each October 1 thereafter, the Department of Housing and Community Development, in conjunction with the office of the State Fire Marshal, shall transmit a report to the State Building Standards Commission on the more stringent requirements, adopted by a city, county, or city and county, pursuant to this section or adopted by a fire protection district and ratified pursuant to Section 13869.7, to the building standards relating to fire and panic safety adopted by the State Fire Marshal and contained in the California Building Standards Code. The report shall be for informational purposes only and shall include a summary by the department and the office of the reasons cited as the necessity for the more stringent requirements. The report required pursuant to this subdivision shall apply to any more stringent requirements adopted or ratified on or after January 1, 1991. (h) All structures governed by Part 2.7 (commencing with Section 18950) of Division 13 are exempt from the permissive authority granted by subdivision (a). 13143.5. Neither the State Fire Marshal nor any local public entity shall charge any fee for enforcing the provisions of Section 13143 or regulations adopted pursuant thereto with respect to facilities providing nonmedical board, room, and care for six or less children which are required to be licensed under the provisions of Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 1250) of Division 2. 13143.6. (a) Except as provided in Section 18930, the State Fire Marshal, with the advice of the State Board of Fire Services, shall prepare and adopt regulations establishing minimum standards for the prevention of fire and for the protection of life and property against fire in any building or structure used or intended for use as a home or institution for the housing of any person of any age when such person is referred to or placed within such home or institution for protective social care and supervision services by any governmental agency. The State Fire Marshal shall adopt and submit building standards for approval pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 of Division 13 for the purposes described in this section. Occupancies within the meaning of this subdivision shall be those not otherwise specified in Sections 13113 and 13143 and shall include, but are not limited to, those commonly referred to as "certified family care homes," "out-of-home placement facilities," and "halfway houses." Building standards relating to fire and panic safety published in the State Building Standards Code and other regulations adopted pursuant to this subdivision shall establish minimum requirements relating to the means of egress and the adequacy of exits, the installation and maintenance of fire extinguishing and fire alarm systems, the storage, handling, or use of combustible or flammable materials or substances, and the installation and maintenance of appliances, equipment, decorations, and furnishings that may present a fire, explosion, or panic hazard. Such minimum requirements shall be predicated on the height, area, and fire-resistive qualities of the building or structure used or intended to be used. Any building or structure within the scope of this subdivision used or intended to be used for the housing of more than six nonambulatory persons shall have installed and maintained in proper operating condition an automatic sprinkler system approved by the State Fire Marshal. "Nonambulatory person," as used in this section, means nonambulatory person as defined in Section 13131. The ambulatory or nonambulatory status of any developmentally disabled person within the scope of this subdivision shall be determined by the Director of Social Services or his or her designated representative, in consultation with the Director of Developmental Services or his or her designated representative. Any building or structure within the scope of this subdivision used or intended to be used for the housing of more than six ambulatory persons shall have installed or maintained in proper operating condition an automatic fire alarm system approved and listed by the State Fire Marshal which will respond to products of combustion other than heat. In preparing and adopting regulations pursuant to this subdivision, the State Fire Marshal shall give reasonable consideration to the continued use of existing buildings' housing occupancies established prior to March 4, 1972. In preparing and adopting regulations pursuant to this subdivision, the State Fire Marshal shall also secure the advice of the appropriate governmental agencies involved in the affected protective social care programs in order to provide compatibility and maintenance of operating programs in this state. Any governmental agency that refers any person to, or causes his or her placement in, any home or institution subject to this section shall, within seven days after the referral or placement, request verification of conformance to the fire safety standards adopted by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to this section from the fire authority having jurisdiction pursuant to Sections 13145 and 13146. Any referral or placement in homes or institutions subject to this section shall be subject to rescission if the fire authority having jurisdiction subsequently informs the governmental agency that it is unable to give the requested verification. When a building or structure within the scope of this subdivision is used to house either ambulatory or nonambulatory persons, or both, and an automatic sprinkler system, approved by the State Fire Marshal, is installed, this subdivision shall not be construed to also require the installation of an automatic fire alarm system. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, facilities which are subject to the provisions of subdivision (a) and which are used for the housing of persons, none of whom are physically or mentally handicapped or nonambulatory persons within the meaning of Section 13131, shall not be required to have installed an automatic sprinkler system or an automatic fire alarm system. In adopting regulations, or when adopting building standards for approval pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 of Division 13, affecting facilities specified in this subdivision, the State Fire Marshal shall take into consideration the ambulatory and nonhandicapped status of persons housed in such facilities. (c) It is the intent of the Legislature that any building or structure within the scope of subdivision (a) in which there is housed any totally deaf person, shall be required by the State Fire Marshal to be equipped with fire warning devices to which such person is able to respond. (d) The provisions of this section, building standards adopted by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to this section and published in the State Building Standards Code relating to fire and panic safety, and the other regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to this section shall apply uniformly throughout the State of California, and no county, city, city and county, or district shall adopt or enforce any ordinance or local rule or regulation relating to fire and panic safety in buildings or structures subject to the provisions of this section which is inconsistent with the provisions of this section, building standards published in the State Building Standards Code relating to fire and panic safety, or the other regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to this section. 13143.8. In case of conflict between the State Fire Marshal and the local enforcement agency in the interpretation or application of the provisions, regulations, or building standards of the State Fire Marshal by local enforcement agencies as they pertain to community care facilities, upon request of the permittee or licensee of the community care facility, the State Fire Marshal shall notify the local enforcement agency in writing of the State Fire Marshal's interpretation, and if the local enforcement agency fails to apply the State Fire Marshal's interpretation, the State Fire Marshal shall conduct an adjudication hearing pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code before a hearing officer of the Office of Administrative Hearings, with the local enforcement agency as respondent, to resolve the conflict. The interpretation or application made by the hearing officer is binding on that local enforcement agency and the State Fire Marshal. The adjudication hearing shall be held within 30 days after the State Fire Marshal notifies the local enforcement agency of the interpretation, and a decision shall be rendered within 15 days of the hearing. 13143.9. (a) The State Fire Marshal shall, in carrying out Section 13143, prepare, adopt, and submit building standards and other fire and life safety regulations for approval pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 18935) of Part 2.5 of Division 13 establishing minimum requirements for the storage, handling, and use of hazardous materials, as defined, in Article 9 of the 1988 Uniform Fire Code, and any subsequent editions, published by the Western Fire Chiefs Association and the International Conference of Building Officials. The State Fire Marshal shall seek the advice of the California Emergency Management Agency in establishing these requirements. This section does not prohibit a city, county, or district from adopting an ordinance, resolution, or regulation imposing stricter or more stringent requirements than a standard adopted pursuant to this section. (b) A business which files the annual inventory form in compliance with Chapter 6.95 (commencing with Section 25500) of Division 20, including the addendum adopted pursuant to Section 25503.9, shall be deemed to have met the requirements of subdivision (c) of Section 80.103 of the Uniform Fire Code, as adopted by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to this section. (c) A business which is not required to file a hazardous materials inventory form pursuant to Section 25509 but which is required by the local fire chief to comply with subdivision (c) of Section 80.103 of the Uniform Fire Code, as adopted by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to this section, shall, notwithstanding Chapter 6.95 (commencing with Section 25500) of Division 20, file the inventory form adopted pursuant to Section 25503.3 and the addendum adopted pursuant to Section 25503.9 with the local fire chief for purposes of complying with this requirement, if determined to be necessary by the fire chief. 13144. The State Fire Marshal shall prepare in book or bulletin form excerpts of the laws, rules, and regulations dealing with fire and panic safety and may make single copies of such laws, rules, and regulations available, without cost, to California fire officials and to owners and managers of establishments governed by such laws, rules, and regulations. 13144.1. (a) Except as provided in Sections 18930 and 18933, the State Fire Marshal shall biennially prepare and publish listings of construction materials and equipment and methods of construction and of installation of equipment, together with the name of any person, firm, corporation, association, or similar organization designated as the manufacturer, representative, or supplier, which are in conformity with building standards relating to fire and panic safety adopted and published in the State Building Standards Code and other fire and panic safety requirements adopted by the State Fire Marshal and published in Title 19 of the California Administrative Code. The State Fire Marshal shall in alternate years prepare and publish revisions to the listings. Copies of the listings or revisions shall be distributed by the State Fire Marshal at the costs incurred by him or her for the printing and distribution of the listings or revisions to persons who have submitted written requests for the approved listings or revisions. The purpose of this section is to provide enforcement authorities, architects, engineers, contractors, local building officials, and any other interested persons, with a reliable and readily available source of information of construction materials, equipment, methods of construction, and installation of equipment which meet the minimum requirements established or enforced by the State Fire Marshal, pursuant to Sections 13108 and 13143. No person, firm, corporation, association, or similar organization shall be denied listing if the material to be listed is approved by a testing organization using testing procedures approved by the State Fire Marshal. It shall not be construed that because a material, assemblies of materials, method of construction and installation of equipment have not been listed, as provided by this section, the material, assemblies of materials, method of construction and installation of equipment does not conform to the fire and panic safety requirements as published in the State Building Standards Code or in Title 19 of the California Administrative Code. (b) The State Fire Marshal may evaluate, test, approve, disapprove, and list any other fire safety product not covered in subdivision (a). 13144.2. Any person, firm, corporation, association, or similar organization desiring listing pursuant to Section 13144.1 shall, prior to placement on any list or revision thereto, make an original or annual renewal application to the State Fire Marshal on forms provided by the State Fire Marshal. Original applications shall be accompanied by both an application fee and a listing fee. Renewal applications shall be accompanied by a listing fee. An application for revision shall be accompanied by a revision fee. Failure to submit an annual renewal application and listing fee shall automatically cause removal of the material, equipment, method of construction, or installation of equipment from the listings or revision thereto. The original application fee, the listing fee, and the revision fee shall be established and collected by the State Fire Marshal. Those fees shall not exceed the costs incurred by the State Fire Marshal in conducting evaluations and tests of construction materials and equipment and methods of construction and of installation of equipment. The annual application and listing fee renewal period shall begin on January 1 and end on May 1 preceding the listing year for which the renewal is requested. A penalty of 50 percent of the listing fee shall be assessed in all cases where the renewal fees are not paid on or before May 1, preceding the listing year for which renewal is requested. The State Fire Marshal may designate in generic terms, without application or fee, materials or assemblies of materials classed by the State Fire Marshal as industrywide, by regulations adopted pursuant to Sections 13108 and 13143. 13144.3. The annual and renewal listing established by Section 13144.2 shall be for the fiscal year period from July 1 to June 30 or for the remaining portion thereof. All moneys collected from original and annual renewal fees pursuant to Section 13144.2 shall be deposited in the State Fire Marshal Licensing and Certification Fund established pursuant to Section 13137, and shall be available to the State Fire Marshal upon appropriation by the Legislature for the purposes specified in Section 13144.2. 13144.4. The State Fire Marshal may adopt regulations to implement, interpret, make specific or otherwise carry out the provisions of Sections 13144.1, 13144. 2, and 13144.3. 13144.5. The State Fire Marshal shall prepare and conduct voluntary regular training sessions devoted to the interpretation and application of the laws and rules and regulations in Title 19 and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations relating to fire and panic safety. The training sessions shall include, but need not be limited to, interpretation of the regulations pertaining to community care facilities licensed pursuant to Section 1508, to residential care facilities for the elderly licensed pursuant to Section 1569.10, and to child day care facilities licensed pursuant to Section 1596.80, in order to coordinate a consistent interpretation and application of the regulations among local fire enforcement agencies. 13145. The State Fire Marshal, the chief of any city, county, or city and county fire department or district providing fire protection services, or a Designated Campus Fire Marshal, and their authorized representatives, shall enforce in their respective areas building standards relating to fire and panic safety adopted by the State Fire Marshal and published in the California Building Standards Code and other regulations that have been formally adopted by the State Fire Marshal for the prevention of fire or for the protection of life and property against fire or panic. 13146. The responsibility for enforcement of building standards adopted by the State Fire Marshal and published in the California Building Standards Code relating to fire and panic safety and other regulations of the State Fire Marshal shall be as follows: (a) The city, county, or city and county with jurisdiction in the area affected by the standard or regulation shall delegate the enforcement of the building standards relating to fire and panic safety and other regulations of the State Fire Marshal as they relate to R-3 dwellings, as described in Section 1201 of Part 2 of the California Building Standards Code, to either of the following: (1) The chief of the fire authority of the city, county, or city and county, or his or her authorized representative.
