Section 5. The Fire Sprinkler Dormitory Act is amended by

are required in the dormitories of all post-secondary

educational institution files a compliance plan with the Office
of the State Fire Marshal, approved by the Office, by January
1, 2013. The compliance plan shall include a detailed timeline
that outlines completion of the planned sprinkler system
installations. The Office of the State Fire Marshal may, at its

this Act. All sprinkler installations required by this Act
shall be completed and operational by December 31, 2014. A
