A bill to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require colleges and universities to disclose to students and their parents the incidents of fires in dormitories, and their plans to reduce fire safety hazards in dormitories, to require the United States Fire Administration to establish fire safety standards for dormitories, and for other purposes.
Exempts from such sprinkler installation requirement any buildings or other structures listed on the National Register for Historic Places, if installation would destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the historic nature of the property.
Title II: Dormitory Fire Safety Standards - Directs the Administrator of the U.S. Fire Administration to: (1) establish fire safety standards for dormitories, including mandatory fire sprinklers, smoke detectors, and open flame resistant furniture and mattresses; and (2) encourage State and local authorities to adopt such standards.
