Bill Summary
This bill would further protect occupants of dwelling units in certain newly constructed multiple dwellings and certain newly constructed hotels by requiring monitored carbon monoxide detectors. The bill would require that any dwelling unit in a newly constructed multiple dwelling or newly constructed hotel that is required to be equipped with a carbon monoxide detector and a monitored fire alarm system, also be equipped with a monitored carbon monoxide system. The bill defines a "monitored fire alarm system" as a fire detection or suppression system which, in addition to sounding a localized siren or alert, also transmits a notification to the local fire department or emergency services entity in order to alert that entity of a potential fire emergency requiring response from the department or entity. A "monitored carbon monoxide system" is defined by the bill as a carbon monoxide sensor device which, in addition to sounding a localized siren or alert, also transmits a notification to the local fire department or emergency services entity in order to alert that entity of a potential carbon monoxide emergency requiring response from the department or entity.
AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance safety in certain new apartment buildings (multiple dwellings) and hotels by requiring advanced carbon monoxide detection systems. Specifically, if a newly constructed dwelling unit or hotel room already has a monitored fire alarm system, which is a system that not only sounds an alarm locally but also alerts the fire department or emergency services, then it must also be equipped with a monitored carbon monoxide alarm system. A monitored carbon monoxide alarm system functions similarly to the fire alarm, sounding a local alert and simultaneously notifying emergency services of a potential carbon monoxide emergency. These new requirements apply to buildings constructed after the bill becomes law, and the enhanced monitoring systems are intended to ensure quicker response times from emergency personnel in case of a carbon monoxide incident.
