A 5095 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes fire protection requirements for short-term farm labor housing.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A5095 establishes mandatory fire safety standards for short-term farm labor housing used by seasonal workers. The bill requires such housing - defined as accommodations for seasonal farm workers staying no longer than three months - to include fire extinguishers, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and proper exit routes. If these measures are installed, the housing automatically complies with the state’s Uniform Construction Code, eliminating the need for separate inspections. The law applies to all farm labor camps operating under New Jersey’s existing seasonal worker housing definitions.
