35-second read · 4 questions answered below
The Safe Stay Act updates federal fire safety guidelines to require a working carbon monoxide alarm in every sleeping or living unit at hotels, motels, and similar lodging facilities. It defines compliant alarms using NFPA and International Code Council standards and directs FEMA to ensure states update compliance lists. Operators must also give guests written notice at check-in confirming compliance, starting one year after enactment.
Hotel, motel, and lodging operators must install alarms and create guest notification systems. Travelers, FEMA, and state fire safety agencies are also involved.
Businesses that fail to give required notice or falsely claim compliance could be investigated and penalized by the FTC as a deceptive practice.
