The state of Iowa mandates that any and all NEW smoke detector installation after April 1st, 2010 be dual sensored meaning either

1) have both photoelectric and ionization , or

2) combo smoke/heat smoke/carbon monoxide

Do any other states have this requirement (or similar) in place?

Thanks
 
Unaware of any (recently) but I do like what the hawkeye state is doing regarding the requirement. I woul hope it's "combo" ion/photo with a separate CO detector altogether however.
