NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A bill that would require carbon monoxide detectors at all daycares across Tennessee has passed the House.
This bill was brought up in legislature following NewsChannel 5 Hannah McDonald's reporting that highlighted the dangers of not having these detectors in place.
In January, NewsChannel 5 spoke with a mother whose child was exposed to carbon monoxide at a daycare and had to seek treatment.
That reporting spurred Rep. Darren Jernigan, D-Old Hickory, to make the devices mandatory in all daycares starting July 1. They would have to be installed no later than Sept. 30.
On Thursday, the bill passed the house. As it already passed the Senate, the bill will head to the Governor's desk.
Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital.
