Law

Housing and Urban Development would run a 3-year pilot program that gives grants to install internet-connected temperature sensors in certain federally assisted rental homes.
Public housing agencies and some federally assisted landlords would need a resident’s written permission before putting a sensor in that unit, and they would monitor the sensor data.
Participating housing providers would have to track and keep records of temperature-related complaints and violations, using definitions HUD sets.
HUD would set privacy standards for any personally identifiable information collected during the pilot, and sensor data would be kept until the pilot and evaluation are done.
HUD would publish an interim report after 12 months and a final report after the pilot ends, comparing results by climate region and sensor technology.
