AB 1200

This bill requires the use of carbon monoxide detectors in child care centers and

public and private elementary and secondary schools that are served by a

fuel-burning forced-air furnace or a boiler. The bill also requires owners of child care

centers and public and private elementary and secondary schools to reasonably

maintain all carbon monoxide detectors as specified in the detectors' instructions.

Under current law generally, carbon monoxide detectors are required in

dwellings with an attached garage, a fireplace, or a fuel-burning appliance. Carbon

monoxide detectors are also required in public buildings that are used for sleeping

or lodging purposes and contain a fuel-burning appliance, a fuel-burning forced-air

furnace, or an attached garage.
