More than half of the states (26 to be exact) already require CO detectors in all new and existing homes, and several others require them in new construction.

I hope that in at least those states where they're already required by STATE law, that HUD is complying as well.

SPECIAL REPORT: Carbon monoxide is killing public housing residents, but HUD still doesn't require detectors
An NBC News investigation has found that the Department of Housing and Urban Development does not require carbon monoxide detectors in public housing, despite a mounting death toll caused by the gas. Elderly and young residents of subsidized housing are the most vulnerable, but HUD has been slow to respond to the demands of those at risk.

“He lost his life to something that could have been prevented,” said Dani Washington, daughter of a Columbia, South Carolina, resident who died in January. “My dad was not an animal for them to treat that way.”
