What this bill would do
The Safe Stay Act proposes to amend the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974. It aims to update fire prevention guidelines to require the mandatory installation of compliant carbon monoxide alarms in every sleeping or dwelling unit within places of public accommodation affecting commerce. The bill defines compliant alarms as those meeting International Fire Code or National Fire Protection Association Standard 72 requirements. It also requires owners of such places to provide written notice of compliance to guests upon check-in. The Federal Trade Commission would be responsible for enforcing these notice requirements.
