Pennsylvania SB1128 mandates the installation and maintenance of fuel gas detectors in residential and commercial buildings to prevent gas leaks.

Pennsylvania SB1128, known as the Fuel Gas Detector Act, requires the installation and maintenance of fuel gas detectors in certain buildings. Building owners must install detectors in rooms containing appliances that combust propane, natural gas, or liquefied petroleum gas. Landlords must provide detectors in dwellings at each occupancy. The act imposes civil penalties for violations and exempts owners from liability if they inspect detectors after installation and before new occupancy. Municipalities are tasked with enforcing the act and levying penalties.
