Bill > S481

This bill, known as the Nicholas and Zachary Burt Memorial Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act of 2019, directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission to establish a grant program to provide assistance to states and tribal organizations to install compliant carbon monoxide alarms in homes of low-income families and older adults, facilities that commonly serve children or older adults, and student-housing units at public universities. The bill defines key terms like "carbon monoxide alarm" and "compliant carbon monoxide alarm" and outlines eligible uses of the grant funds, including purchasing and installing alarms, providing training, and educating the public about the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning. The bill also requires states receiving grants to provide non-federal contributions for the program.
