February 22 - Amanda's Law Goes into Effect requiring most homes to have an operating Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm.
Amanda’s Law, requires a carbon-monoxide detector to be installed in every home and apartment in the state. Homes built before 2008 must have at least one functioning detector on the lowest level with a bedroom. The only exceptions are homes that have no appliances that emit carbon monoxide and do not have attached garages. Battery-operated, plug in or hard-wired detectors are acceptable.

Homes built in 2008 or later must have detectors wired into their electrical systems and must have them on every floor with a sleeping room or a carbon monoxide source.

The law is named for Amanda Hansen, who died 13 months ago of carbon monoxide poisoning at age 16 while on a sleepover at a friend’s house. Click here to read the law.
