AI Summary

This bill proposes to require every residential building in Massachusetts that has equipment that burns explosive gas, such as a furnace or water heater, to be equipped with an approved explosive gas sensor device. The bill defines an "explosive gas sensor device" as an alarm that detects dangerous levels of methane and propane gases, and it directs the Board of Fire Prevention Regulations to establish regulations for the type, installation, and maintenance of these devices.
