I support HB66 as written if it brings school divisions in compliance with Fire Codes, but if not, bi-monthly fire drills should be adequate, and a fair compromise after the first 20 days of each school year to minimize interruptions to education time. If there is not, there should be at least one fire drill per Summer School Session, as often times, students attend Summer Programs in buildings which are not their 'home schools' for Summer programming and are unfamiliar.
