Bill > H2454

This bill amends the existing Massachusetts law to require all dwellings, buildings, or structures occupied for residential purposes that contain combustible gas-burning equipment to be equipped with working, approved combustible gas detection alarms. The bill outlines requirements for landlords and owners to install, maintain, and replace the alarms as necessary. It also requires inspections for compliance by the fire department upon the sale or transfer of a residential property. The state building code may impose stricter requirements for new construction or substantially renovated dwellings. The Department of Public Health is tasked with promulgating rules and regulations to integrate the combustible gas alarm requirements into the state sanitary code.
