Governor Bill Ritter signed a bill yesterday requiring detectors--which alert people when colorless, odorless carbon monoxide might poison them--to be installed in many homes and apartments, according to 7News [2], which reports the law applies to new homes and apartment buildings as well as those that are sold or undergo any major renovations. The law is named for Lauren Johnson [3], a University of Denver student who died last year after carbon monoxide seeped into her apartment, and for the four members of the Lofgren family who lost their lives while in a resort home in Aspen. The legislation, sponsored in part by newcomer Representative Lois Court and which takes effect on July 1, came too late for David Driscoll, a Colorado Springs chiropractor who was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in his Fairplay cabin recently, notes the Gazette [4], adding that in December, 22-year-old Kelly Murphy of Manitou Springs died of the same cause.
