Bill > HB06661

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 541 of the general statutes to mandate the installation of gas leak detectors in both new and existing buildings that use combustible gas. Specifically, the bill requires that the State Building Code include provisions for gas leak detectors in all new construction that uses combustible gas, and mandates that existing structures using combustible gas (such as natural gas or propane for heating, cooking, or other purposes) must be equipped with gas leak detectors within two years of the bill's implementation. Gas leak detectors are safety devices designed to alert occupants when potentially dangerous levels of combustible gas are present, helping to prevent potential explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning. The bill aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that buildings with combustible gas have early warning systems to detect potentially hazardous gas leaks, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and protecting the health and lives of building occupants.
