HB 1091 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Dwelling units, certain; require to have fuel gas sensor devices.

HB 1091 would require hotels and apartment buildings in Mississippi to install gas detectors meeting specific safety standards (NFPA 715) to prevent gas leak hazards. It mandates inspections by the State Fire Marshal, with owners facing a $100 fine for non-compliance when selling, leasing, or allowing occupancy. The law would have taken effect July 1, 2026, but the bill "died in committee" on February 3, 2026, and did not become law. The bill directly affected property owners and managers of covered dwelling units.
