Pennsylvania SB256 mandates carbon monoxide alarms in child care facilities using fossil fuels.

Pennsylvania SB256, the Carbon Monoxide Alarm Standards in Child Care Facilities Act, requires child care facilities using fossil fuels to install operational carbon monoxide alarms. These facilities must comply with standards set by the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code and the Standard for the Installation of Carbon Monoxide Detection and Warning Equipment. The Department of Human Services cannot issue or renew licenses for non-compliant facilities. The act defines "child care facility" and "fossil fuel" and specifies alarm installation requirements.
