New Jersey A647 mandates explosive gas detectors in certain residential properties.

New Jersey A647 requires explosive gas detectors in one and two family housing, hotels, multiple dwellings, and rooming and boarding houses. These detectors must comply with American National Standards Institute standards for residential devices detecting explosive quantities of methane and propane gases. The bill also mandates carbon monoxide sensor devices in these properties, unless no hazard exists. Non-compliance by owners can result in fines up to $100. The Commissioner of Community Affairs is tasked with promulgating necessary rules and regulations.
