Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill would require that certain short-term rentals be equipped with both a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector before they can be rented or offered for rent. The regulation would be enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which would issue rules to implement the requirement. The enforcement framework mirrors other FTC authority, treating violations as unfair or deceptive acts or practices. The requirement would take effect one year after the bill becomes law. The bill defines “short-term rental” as lodging provided for periods under 30 consecutive days, offered to the general public for a fee, and promoted or sold in interstate commerce, including entire properties or parts of properties such as single-family homes, condos, or time-shares.
