Schools; require carbon monoxide detectors in all.

SB 2623 would require all public and nonpublic schools in Mississippi (excluding home instruction programs) to install carbon monoxide safety alarms by July 1, 2025. The bill mandates that the State Fire Marshal create regulations for detector installation, testing, maintenance, and specific standards (like UL 2075/2034), while banning battery-backup plug-in devices. It also protects schools from liability if detectors are installed and maintained per regulations. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and is not currently law.
