What is Senate Bill No. 183 (SB-183)?
SB-183 ("Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act") is a senate bill that requires a carbon monoxide (CO) detector/alarm be installed in all dwelling units intended for human occupancy including Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO and other short term rentals.
As of July 1, 2011, the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act (Senate Bill SB 183) requires all single-family homes with an attached garage or a fossil fuel source to install carbon monoxide alarms within the home. Owners of multi-family leased or rental dwellings, such as apartment buildings, are required to comply with the law by January 1, 2013.

What is the difference between a carbon monoxide alarm and a carbon monoxide detector?
A carbon monoxide alarm is a stand alone unit which is tested to Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Standard 2034 and has its own built-in power supply and audible device. These units are typically installed in your single family dwelling. A carbon monoxide detector is a system unit which is tested to UL Standard 2075 and is designed to be used with a fire alarm system and receives its power from the fire alarm panel.
