Senate Bill 1715 amends the Property Code to require a smoke detector installed in a residential tenancy, in addition to meeting other requirements, to be capable of alerting a hearing-impaired person in the bedrooms it serves if such capability is requested by a tenant as an accommodation for a person with a hearing-impairment disability or as required by law as a reasonable accommodation for a person with such a disability.
