AI Summary
This bill, concerning public safety and homeland security, aims to expand the requirement for carbon monoxide alarms to all structures, not just those used for residential purposes. Specifically, it amends Section 26F ½ of Chapter 148 of the General Laws by removing the phrase "occupied in whole or in part for residential purposes" from multiple lines within that section, thereby broadening the scope of buildings that must be equipped with these life-saving devices to include governmental and commercial structures in addition to residential ones.
