| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning education.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Fire Sprinkler Dormitory Act is amended by | ||||
changing Section 10 as follows:
| ||||
(110 ILCS 47/10)
| ||||
Sec. 10. Fire sprinkler systems required. Subject to the | ||||
establishment of a fire sprinkler dormitory revolving loan | ||||
program under Section 15 of this Act, fire sprinkler systems | ||||
are required in the dormitories of all post-secondary | ||||
educational institutions by 2013, unless a post-secondary | ||||
educational institution files a compliance plan with the Office | ||||
of the State Fire Marshal, approved by the Office by January 1, | ||||
2013. The compliance plan must be submitted no later than | ||||
November 1, 2012 and must include all of the following: | ||||
(1) Fire sprinkler system working drawings and | ||||
hydraulic calculations. | ||||
(2) A water supply analysis to determine available | ||||
water and the need for a fire pump. | ||||
(3) A fire sprinkler system installation schedule | ||||
showing a minimum of the following: | ||||
(A) the drawing and calculation submittal date to | ||||
the authority having jurisdiction and the projected | ||||
duration; | ||
(B) the fabrication and material procurement date | ||
and the projected duration; | ||
(C) the field installation start date and the | ||
projected duration; | ||
(D) the final testing and punch list date and the | ||
projected duration; and | ||
(E) the projected project completion date. | ||
If the compliance plan is approved by the Office of the State | ||
Fire Marshal, then the deadline for fire sprinklers to be | ||
installed and operational shall be extended to September 1, | ||
2014. A violation of this Section is a business offense | ||
punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 per day. This fire | ||
sprinkler system requirement includes current structures as | ||
well as newly constructed dormitories. Nothing in this Act may | ||
be construed to abrogate any statute, rule, or ordinance | ||
requiring that a fire extinguisher be present in a dormitory.
