  Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as
"Amanda's law".
  S  2.  Subdivision 5-a of section 378 of the executive law, as amended
by chapter 202 of the laws of 2006, is amended to read as follows:
  5-a. Standards for installation of carbon monoxide detectors requiring
that every one or two-family dwelling [constructed or offered  for  sale

two,]  or  any multiple dwellings [constructed or offered for sale after
August ninth, two thousand five] shall have installed an operable carbon
monoxide detector of such manufacture, design and installation standards
