Bill No. CS/HB 1307, 1st Eng.
Amendment No. ___ (for drafter's use only)
1 all relocatables purchased, leased, or otherwise acquired by a
2 public school district for use as classroom space shall be
3 type IV non-combustible construction. A school district in
4 possession of type VI portables, which are being used as
5 classroom space, may retain those portables within the
6 district whether owned by the district or under a current or
7 renewable lease, subject to the provisions of s. 235.062. The
8 standards shall protect the health, safety, and welfare of
9 occupants by requiring compliance with the Uniform Building
10 Code for Public Educational Facilities or other locally
11 adopted state minimum building codes to ensure the safety and
12 stability of construction and onsite installation; fire and
13 moisture protection; air quality and ventilation; appropriate
14 wind resistance; and compliance with the requirements of the
15 Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. If appropriate, the
16 standards must also require relocatables to provide access to
17 the same technologies available to similar classrooms within
18 the main school facility and, if appropriate, to be accessible
19 by adequate covered walkways. By July 1, 2000, the
20 commissioner shall adopt standards for all relocatables
21 intended for long-term use as classrooms. A relocatable that
22 is subject to this section and does not meet the standards
23 shall not be reported as providing satisfactory student
