Requires explosive gas detectors to be installed in certain residential properties.

This bill requires explosive gas detectors in one- and two-family homes before initial occupancy or a change of occupancy, and in hotels, apartment buildings, and rooming/boarding houses for every residential unit. Detectors must meet safety standards for detecting methane and propane gas, or a combined device can be used. Property owners must ensure compliance or face a $100 fine, though the requirement can be waived if a hazard assessment by the Commissioner of Community Affairs confirms no explosive gas risk exists. The bill aligns with existing carbon monoxide detector requirements but specifically targets gas explosion risks.
