Carbon Monoxide Safety

Nicole's Law

In November 2005, Governor Mitt Romney signed Nicole's Law, which places certain requirements on owners of all residential properties to install and maintain carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. The Board of Fire Prevention Regulations has developed the regulations (527 CMR 31) establishing the specific requirements of the law, including the type, location, maintenance, and inspection requirements for the alarms.
