When people check into a hotel, motel, or short-term rental, they expect a good night’s sleep. Yet, across the U.S., countless lodging facilities still operate without carbon monoxide (CO) alarms, putting guests at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning without their knowledge. The Safe Stay Act addresses this critical gap by making CO detection a requirement, not a suggestion. It’s a straightforward, life-saving update to outdated safety codes that haven’t kept up with modern risks.
​
This legislation also sends a clear message: guest safety should never depend on the luck of where you stay or which state you're in. The patchwork of local laws has left too many families vulnerable, with devastating consequences. The Safe Stay Act ensures that all travelers, no matter their destination, are protected by the same basic safeguards. It’s time for a national standard that puts people first and makes every stay a safer one.
Why the Safe Stay Act Matters
Carbon Monoxide Deaths Are Preventable
Too many lives have been lost in hotels, motels, and vacation rentals due to carbon monoxide leaks. This legislation would require carbon monoxide detectors in all lodging facilities, something that could save many lives.
Protecting Guests and Families Nationwide
Whether traveling for business or vacation, guests deserve to know they’re safe. The Safe Stay Act ensures that basic protections are in place in every state—not just a patchwork of local laws.
