Law that allows fire departments to measure carbon monoxide moves forward in legislature

A bill that would allow for local fire departments to check vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions has passed an Indiana Senate committee, meaning it's one step closing to becoming law. SB 100, also known as Savannah's Law, passed the Committee on Homeland Security and Transportation Tuesday with a 6-0 vote. It would allow a fire department to test the carbon monoxide emissions with no charge to the owner. The bill is named after Savannah Bettis, a Ben Davis High School student who died in a car crash in 2015, a week before graduation.  It was later found that an exhaust leak seeped carbon monoxide into the vehicle she was riding in, causing the driver to crash. Nearly 50 percent of Bettis' body was saturated with carbon monoxide.
