SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill and changes the title. It requires the owner of a hotel, motel, inn or bed and breakfast that receives its initial licensure on or after August 1, 2012 to install carbon monoxide detectors if it is new construction or a conversion from an existing building. The amendment also requires a carbon monoxide detector be installed in any new construction of, addition to, or restoration of a fraternity or sorority house or dormitory affiliated with a private school, public school or private or public postsecondary institution incorporated or chartered under the laws of this State, as well as any conversion of an existing building to such a fraternity or sorority house or dormitory.
