Construction: other; exclusion of temporary locking devices or systems installed in child care centers; update under the fire prevention code. Amends sec. 22 of 1941 PA 207 (MCL 29.22). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0096'25, SB 0098'25

SB 97 updates Michigan's fire prevention code to clarify that temporary locking devices or systems installed in child care centers - under specific construction codes - do not violate fire safety rules. It directly affects child care centers using these temporary locks during construction or renovations. The bill amends Section 22 of the Fire Prevention Code (MCL 29.22) to explicitly exclude such devices from being considered fire hazards, aligning with existing construction safety standards. This is a technical clarification, not a new policy, and applies only to child care centers meeting the referenced construction code requirements.
