Housing: other; requirement for certain rental units to be equipped with a carbon monoxide device; provide for. Amends 1972 PA 348 (MCL 554.601 - 554.616) by adding sec. 1e.
SB 515 requires landlords of certain rental units in Michigan to install carbon monoxide detectors. It amends Michigan's housing code (MCL 554.601-554.616) by adding a new section mandating this safety device in specified properties. The bill directly affects residential landlords who manage qualifying units, such as multi-family dwellings or older buildings where carbon monoxide risks are higher. This policy change aims to enhance occupant safety by ensuring detectors are present in targeted rental housing. The bill passed the state legislature on October 23, 2025, and is now pending further legislative steps.
