| 1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 3390
| ||||||
| 2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 3390 by replacing | ||||||
| 3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
| 4 | "Section 5. The Animal Welfare Act is amended by adding | ||||||
| 5 | Section 18.2 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (225 ILCS 605/18.2 new) | ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 18.2. Fire alarm system. | ||||||
| 8 | (a) In this Section: | ||||||
| 9 | "Fire alarm system" means a fire alarm system that complies | ||||||
| 10 | with any applicable rules adopted by the State Fire Marshal and | ||||||
| 11 | automatically triggers notification to local emergency | ||||||
| 12 | responders when activated. | ||||||
| 13 | (b) A kennel operator that maintains dogs and cats for | ||||||
| 14 | boarding that is not staffed at all times shall be equipped | ||||||
| 15 | with at least one fire alarm system or fire sprinkler system in | ||||||
| 16 | operating condition in every building of the kennel operator | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | that is used for the housing of animals. | ||||||
| 2 | Compliance with an applicable federal, State, or local law, | ||||||
| 3 | rule, or building code requiring the installation or | ||||||
| 4 | maintenance of fire alarm monitoring systems in a manner | ||||||
| 5 | different from this Section, but providing a level of safety | ||||||
| 6 | for occupants that is equal to or greater than that provided by | ||||||
| 7 | this Section, shall be deemed to comply with this Section, and | ||||||
| 8 | the requirements of the more stringent law shall govern rather | ||||||
| 9 | than this Section. | ||||||
| 10 | (c) The State Fire Marshal shall inspect, or shall direct a | ||||||
| 11 | local fire marshal to inspect, a kennel operator that maintains | ||||||
| 12 | dogs and cats for boarding when a resident makes a credible | ||||||
| 13 | complaint alleging that the kennel operator is not in | ||||||
| 14 | compliance with this Section. | ||||||
| 15 | Local fire inspectors shall determine whether a kennel | ||||||
| 16 | operator that maintains dogs and cats for boarding is in | ||||||
| 17 | compliance with this Section during the course of routine | ||||||
| 18 | building and fire inspections of the kennel operator. Local | ||||||
| 19 | fire officials and the State Fire Marshal shall immediately | ||||||
| 20 | notify the Department upon discovering that a kennel operator | ||||||
| 21 | is not in compliance with this Section. | ||||||
| 22 | (d) The Department shall deny issuing a license under this | ||||||
| 23 | Act to a kennel operator that maintains dogs and cats for | ||||||
| 24 | boarding that is not in compliance this Section. A kennel | ||||||
| 25 | operator that is already licensed under this Act and found by | ||||||
| 26 | the Department not to be in compliance with this Section shall | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | be liable for $500 for the first violation, $1,500 for the | ||||||
| 2 | second violation, and $2,500 and the loss of the license issued | ||||||
| 3 | under this Act for the third violation. The State's Attorney of | ||||||
| 4 | the county in which the violation occurred or the Attorney | ||||||
| 5 | General may bring an action in the circuit court in which the | ||||||
| 6 | violation occurred to enforce the collection of any civil | ||||||
| 7 | penalty imposed.".
