This act aims to encourage states to mandate carbon monoxide detector installation in homes. It establishes a grant program for states and tribal organizations to help purchase and install detectors, especially for low-income families and the elderly, and to educate the public about carbon monoxide dangers. This initiative seeks to enhance public safety and prevent fatal poisonings.
Key points
Grant Program: States and tribal organizations can receive funds to install carbon monoxide alarms in homes, particularly for those in need.
Public Education: A portion of grant funds is allocated for informing citizens about carbon monoxide risks and the importance of detectors.
Installation Requirements: Grants are available to entities that adopt laws requiring the installation of certified carbon monoxide alarms in residential units.
