The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6658, seeks to amend chapter 541 of the general statutes by eliminating the requirement for food service establishments to utilize a carbon dioxide alarm. This change would involve amendments to the State Building Code, the Fire Safety Code, and the State Fire Prevention Code, effectively removing the existing mandate for these establishments to have such alarms in place.

The primary purpose of this bill is to relieve food service establishments from the obligation of installing carbon dioxide alarms, which may be seen as an unnecessary regulatory burden. By removing this requirement, the bill aims to streamline compliance for food service businesses while still maintaining safety standards through other existing regulations.
