Bill Summary
This bill creates a standard under the State Uniform Construction Code for those newly-constructed residential multiple dwellings in which at least 90 percent of the units will be occupied by seniors, and for which an application for a construction permit has not been declared complete by the enforcing agency before the effective date of the bill, requiring such housing units or complexes to be equipped with a standby emergency power generator. Seniors are defined under the bill as persons age 62 or older. This population is at greater risk of health complications or death in conditions of power outages. The bill directs that the use of a standby emergency power generator required under the bill must comport with the regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection concerning air pollution and must be tested regularly.
