Short description: 
SCH CD-FIRE SAF CHK-BUILD PLAN                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the School Code. Provides  that  nothing  in  the  Section      
   concerning  the  school building code shall be construed to prohibit a      
   local fire department or the Office of the  State  Fire  Marshal  from      
   conducting  a  fire  safety  check  in  a  public school. Requires the      
   regional superintendent of schools to submit  a  copy  of  a  school's      
   building  plans  and  specifications  for  review  by  the  local fire      
   department if the school board requests such a  review,  and  requires      
   the  fire  department  to  comment  on  the  plans and specifications.      
   Effective June 30, 2002.                                                    
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          30 ILCS 805/8.26 new                                                 
        In the Section concerning the school building code, provides that      
   for fire protection issues, only one one-year extension may  be  made,      
   and  no  other  provision of the School Code or an applicable code may      
   supersede this requirement. In the Section concerning  building  plans      
   and  specifications,  allows  review  by  the  local  fire  protection      
   district,  provides  that  the  fire  department  or  fire  protection      
   district  may  request  the  review (instead of the school board), and      
   provides that upon being notified by the  regional  superintendent  of      
   schools  that  corrective action must be taken to resolve a violation,      
   the school board must take corrective action within one  year,  except      
   that  any  violation  that  presents imminent danger must be addressed      
   immediately. Amends the State Mandates Act to  require  implementation      
   without reimbursement.                                                      
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          30 ILCS 805/8.26 new                                                 
        In the Section concerning the school building code, provides that      
   for routine inspections, fire officials shall provide written notice        
   to the superintendent of the school district to schedule a date for         
   the fire safety check. In the Section concerning building plans and         
   specifications, allows the Office of the State Fire Marshal to review       
   the plans and specifications at the request of the fire department or       
   fire protection district and provides that a review must be conducted       
   at no cost to the school district. Removes the provision amending the       
   State Mandates Act and the effective date provision.                        
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that  for  routine  inspections,  fire  officials  shall      
   provide   written   notice   to   the   principal   (instead   of  the      
   superintendent)  to  schedule  a  date  for  the  fire  safety  check.      
   Prohibits more than  2  routine  inspections  from  being  made  in  a      
   calendar  year.  Provides  that upon being notified by a fire official      
   (instead of the regional superintendent) that corrective  action  must      
   be  taken  to  resolve  a  violation,  the  school  board  shall  take      
   corrective action within one year. Makes other changes.
