Bill Summary

Relative to carbon monoxide alarms in schools. Education.

AI Summary

This bill establishes the School Carbon Monoxide Safety Trust Fund to provide grants to public school districts for the installation of carbon monoxide detection systems in school buildings that contain fossil-fuel burning equipment or enclosed parking. The bill also requires the state board of building regulations to adopt the 2018 International Building Code requirement to install carbon monoxide detection systems in all new or substantially rehabilitated school buildings. Additionally, the bill allows for the temporary use of battery-powered or plug-in with battery back-up carbon monoxide alarms in school buildings until the school undergoes a heating plant replacement or other major reconstruction project, and requires the transfer of $7.5 million from the General Fund to the School Carbon Monoxide Safety Trust Fund.
