Legislative findings
Official statutory text
§ 239. Legislative findings. The legislature recognizes that the\never-increasing cost of home heating has resulted in widespread consumer\ninterest in the use of portable kerosene heaters. Because there is a\nwide variety of kerosene heaters, including different designs and\nintended purposes, the public interest requires that those heaters which\nare used in residential structures meet certain safety standards\ndesigned to insure that they are reasonably safe for that purpose.\nAccordingly, it is the intent of this article to protect the public by\nestablishing standards which will permit the use of reasonably safe\nheaters in residential structures.\n
