Relating to: requiring carbon monoxide detectors in child care centers and schools, grants for placing carbon monoxide detectors in schools, and making an appropriation. (FE)
SB 1065 requires all public and private elementary and secondary schools, as well as licensed child care centers, to install carbon monoxide detectors in rooms with fuel-burning appliances. Detectors must be battery-powered for older buildings or hardwired with fire alarm monitoring for newer buildings, and must meet safety certification standards. The bill also creates a $75,000 grant program to help schools purchase detectors, with grants up to $3,000 per school, and mandates annual reporting on grant usage. These requirements apply directly to schools and child care centers serving students or children, with the grants specifically targeting compliance costs.
