Creates program for installing standby emergency power generators in new senior housing.
This bill requires new senior housing complexes (where at least 90% of units are occupied by residents aged 62 or older) to install standby emergency power generators. It mandates weekly checks, monthly load testing, and annual servicing of these generators to ensure reliable power during outages, prioritizing resident health and safety. Generators must comply with Department of Environmental Protection regulations on air pollution. The law applies to newly constructed buildings where construction permits were not finalized before the bill’s effective date.
