a temporary permit which meets the requirements of ORS 479.215 for licensing of

institution can operate without jeopardizing the health or safety of its
residents or patients; and
(b) The
institution can comply with all applicable laws and rules relating to safety
from fire within a period of two years from the date of issuance of the
temporary permit.
(2) In issuing
the temporary permit, the State Fire Marshal or approved authority of the
governmental subdivision having jurisdiction in an exempt area may require that
during the two-year period in which the temporary permit is in effect:
(a) Plans for
compliance with all applicable laws and rules relating to safety from fire be
submitted with the application for a temporary permit;
(b) Periodic
reports be submitted on the progress of the plans for compliance; and
(c) Special
temporary provisions specified by the State Fire Marshal or the approved
authority be maintained for the protection from fire of the residents or
patients of the institution.
(3) If at any
time, the State Fire Marshal or the approved authority determines that the
facilities for protection from fire at the institution are no longer adequate
to protect the residents or patients or that the requirements imposed under
subsection (2) of this section are not being maintained, the State Fire Marshal
or the approved authority shall cancel the temporary permit and shall notify
the licensing agency of such cancellation.
(4) Extensions
and renewals may be granted on the temporary permit. [1963 c.202 §5; 1965 c.602
