Bill Summary
Relative to the safety of schools, residences, and public assemblies
AI Summary
This bill establishes a "School Carbon Monoxide Safety Trust Fund" to provide grants to public school districts for the installation of carbon monoxide detection systems, which are now required in school buildings that use fossil-fuel burning equipment or have enclosed parking. School districts must submit an installation plan to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Fire Safety for approval before receiving funds. The bill also mandates the installation of carbon monoxide detection systems in new or substantially rehabilitated restaurants that use fossil-fuel burning equipment or have enclosed parking, and it requires the state board of building regulations and standards to adopt minimum standards for these installations in schools based on the 2015 International Building Code. While the bill initially allows for temporary use of battery-powered or plug-in alarms with battery backup, it also allocates $7,500,000 from the General Fund to the new trust fund and requires the development of best practices for system placement and installation in public schools.
