Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to requiring every certain family dwellings and dwelling accommodations to have carbon monoxide detectors
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation would mandate that all family dwellings install carbon monoxide detectors.
Summary of specific provisions
Section I: Amends the standards for installation of carbon monoxide detectors to require that they be installed in all residential dwellings.
Section II: effective date.
Justification
Current law requires residential dwellings that are constructed or offered for sale after July 30, 2002 to be updated with a carbon monoxide detector. This legislation would remove the construction and sale provisions, leaving it a new requirement that all homes regardless of construction or sale date be outfitted with a carbon monoxide detector. On January 17, 2009 Amanda Hansen, a 16 year old from West Seneca, New York, died from carbon monoxide poisoning from a defective boiler while at a sleepover at her friend's house. This legislation would create safer homes for New Yorkers and also prevent future tragedies from occurring.
Prior legislative history
None.
Fiscal implications
None.
Effective date
This act shall take effect on the three hundred sixty-fifth day after it shall have become law.
