SEC. 101. CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS OR DETECTORS IN FEDERALLY 
ASSISTED HOUSING. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(1) carbon monoxide alarms are not required by federally 
assisted housing programs, when not required by State or local 
codes; 
(2) numerous federally assisted housing residents have lost 
their lives due to carbon monoxide poisoning; 
(3) the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning occur imme-
diately and can result in death in a matter of minutes; 
(4) carbon monoxide exposure can cause permanent brain 
damage, life-threatening cardiac complications, fetal death or 
miscarriage, and death, among other harmful health conditions; 
(5) carbon monoxide poisoning is especially dangerous for 
unborn babies, children, elderly individuals, and individuals 
with cardiovascular disease, among others with chronic health 
conditions; 
(6) the majority of the 4,600,000 families receiving Federal 
housing assistance are families with young children, elderly 
individuals, or individuals with disabilities, making them espe-
cially vulnerable to carbon monoxide poisoning; 
(7) more than 400 people die and 50,000 additional people 
visit the emergency room annually as a result of carbon mon-
oxide poisoning; 
(8) carbon monoxide poisoning is entirely preventable and 
early detection is possible with the use of carbon monoxide 
alarms; 
(9) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns 
that carbon monoxide poisoning is entirely preventable and 
recommends the installation of carbon monoxide alarms; 
(10) the Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes 
of the Department of Housing and Urban Development rec-
ommends the installation of carbon monoxide alarms as a best
H. R. 133—982 
practice to keep families and individuals safe and to protect 
health; and 
(11) in order to safeguard the health and well-being of 
tenants in federally assisted housing, the Federal Government 
should consider best practices for primary prevention of carbon 
monoxide-related incidents.

to provide needed mortgage loans on Native American reserva-
tions; and
