(2) Prior to a person's admission, a long-term care facility that does not have a sprinkler

system in each resident room shall explain to the person, or the responsible party for

the person, details about the facility's sprinkler system and which resident rooms in

the facility are not equipped with a sprinkler.

(3) Each long-term care facility that does not have a sprinkler system shall obtain, prior

to a person's admission, a written form signed by the person or the responsible party

for the person that acknowledges the person's or responsible party's awareness that

the facility does not have a sprinkler system. The form shall not contain any

statement that releases or purports to release the long -term care facility from any

liability arising from the absence of a sprinkler system.
