Chapter 27d: Establishment
Section: 52:27d-198.8: Findings, declarations relative to installation of fire suppression systems in student dormitories.
2. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. Education plays a vital role in the economic development of the nation and the State, by providing the education and training of the work force of the future.
b. The safety of students housed in dormitories at secondary schools, military schools, boarding schools, or at institutions of higher education is a vital concern. These students represent New Jersey's future.
c. Automatic fire suppression systems installed in buildings have been proven to be a very effective method of preventing injury, death and widespread property damage. The construction, reconstruction, development, extension and improvement of dormitory safety facilities, including fire prevention and sprinkler systems, shall therefore be deemed in the public interest and a public purpose.
