Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

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 |
|
(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
|
|
(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.
