AN ACT relating to residential safety.

Summary

The bill requires every single‑family house and multifamily unit in Kentucky to have a functioning hard‑wired or 10‑year lithium‑battery smoke detector by the end of 2026. Property owners, sellers, or landlords must test the detector and provide a signed affidavit confirming it works before a sale, lease, or change of ownership. It also tasks the state fire marshal with issuing guidance on carbon‑monoxide and fuel‑gas detectors and reporting fire‑related injuries.
