In addition to the smoke alarms required under Section 13-64-140, each hotel and motel and bed-and- breakfast establishment shall provide at least one smoke alarm designed to serve hearing impaired persons, for each 50 units or fraction thereof. If a patron of a hotel or motel requests a smoke alarm designed to serve hearing impaired persons, it shall be the duty of the hotel operator or motel operator to provide installation of such a smoke alarm. For purposes of compliance with this section, a smoke alarm is “designed to serve hearing impaired persons” if it emits a flashing or stroboscopic light signal or vibration to indicate the presence of smoke.
A smoke alarm required under this section may be either portable or permanently wired to the electrical service of the hotel or motel in accordance with the provisions of Title 14E. A hotel operator or motel operator may require that a patron pay a refundable deposit at the time of providing a portable smoke alarm for the patron's room. The amount of the deposit shall not exceed the cost of the portable smoke alarm.
Each hotel operator and each motel operator shall post a notice at the place of registration of patrons, bearing the legend “smoke alarm for the hearing impaired available”. The notice shall contain print no smaller than three inches high. The notice shall be posted in such a manner as to be visible to registering patrons.
