BILL NUMBER:S2027
Title of bill
An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to required installation of carbon monoxide detectors
Summary
§152-a. Safety requirements; carbon monoxide. Each authority shall install and maintain a functioning carbon monoxide detector in every tenant dwelling unit, excluding those dwelling units having electric heat as their sole source of heat.
Justification
Carbon Monoxide is considered a silent killer which has no warnings. This odorless and invisible poison gas can kill an occupant of a household within an hour of inhalation. The proposed bill would enact legislation to require public housing authorities to install these lifesaving devices in every unit. Each device is estimated to cost $10.
Fiscal implications
To be determined.
Effective date
This act shall take effect on the first of October next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.
