Concerns carbon monoxide detectors in certain multiple dwellings and hotels.
This bill requires newly constructed hotels and multiple dwellings (like apartment buildings) to install monitored carbon monoxide detectors in every unit. It specifically applies to buildings that already have a monitored fire alarm system (which alerts both occupants locally and the fire department). The bill mandates that these units must also have a "monitored carbon monoxide alarm system," meaning the device sounds a local alert and automatically notifies emergency services if carbon monoxide is detected. This requirement applies to new construction built after the bill's enactment date.
