- The bill H.R. 1961, entitled "to amend title 46, United States Code, to extend the exemption from the fire-retardant materials construction requirement for vessels operating within the Boundary Line," was legislation that was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress. A federal law was passed in 1966 (46 U.S.C. ยง 3503) that requires all "vessels with overnight accommodations for more than 50 passengers to be built of fire-retardant material." The passenger boat Delta Queen, paddle-wheel, steam driven riverboat constructed in 1926 is believed to be the only boat that would be affected by this legislation. Previously there was an exemption for boats that met three qualifications: (1) notification of passengers that the boat didn't meet fire safety standards; (2) agree to be held liable for fire damage; and (3) make sure that modifications to non-public parts of the boat were up to fire-retardant regulations. This exemption has been extended nine times since it was first passed in 1966, but expired on November 1, 2008. H.R. 1961 would extend the exemption again, until November 1, 2028. (en)
