It requires that non-certified devices be stored outdoors, with specialized battery containment enclosures used if outdoor storage is not feasible. Certified devices must be stored at least ten feet away from points of egress. The bill also mandates a public awareness campaign by the Department of Fire Services to inform the public about the risks of improper storage. Violations of these provisions are subject to fines.
