Bill > S3561

This bill, the Housing Temperature Safety Act of 2022, requires owners of federally assisted rental dwelling units to install temperature sensors in each unit. The bill defines key terms like "assistance," "covered federally assisted rental dwelling unit," and "temperature sensor." It mandates that owners install and maintain these sensors within one year of the bill's enactment, and report temperature data collected from the sensors six times a day. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is tasked with issuing rules on sensor installation and maintenance, as well as guidance on data collection, retention, and reporting. The bill also requires the Secretary to submit annual reports to Congress on the implementation status and temperature-related incidents in these units.
