Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Fire Sprinkler Contractor Licensing Act.   Authorizes      
   the  State Fire Marshal to regulate persons who hold themselves out to      
   be in the business  of  or  contract  to  install  or  repair  a  fire      
   sprinkler  system.  Imposes  licensure requirements.  Imposes criminal      
   and civil penalties for violations of the Act. Provides for deposit of      
   fees and fines into the Fire  Prevention  Fund.  Preempts  home  rule.      
   Effective immediately.                                                      
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Makes a technical change.                                              
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                
        Deletes references to "point of service". Changes  the  provision      
   requiring  separate licensure for persons or businesses engaged in the      
   installation of sprinkler systems only in single  family  or  multiple      
   family  residential  dwellings  to  exempt those persons or businesses      
   from licensure.                                                             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. (Tabled May 9, 2002)                            
        Deletes everything but the short title of the new Act.                 
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Provides that a fire sprinkler system may have a backflow              
   detection system (in place of a backflow prevention device) installed       
   by a licensed plumber before the fire sprinkler system connection to        
   the water service.                                                          
        GOVERNOR'S AMENDATORY VETO MESSAGE                                     
        Recommends that, in the City of Chicago, all fire sprinkler            
   systems shall have a double detector check assembly (rather than the        
   backflow prevention device required elsewhere) installed by a licensed      
   plumber before the fire sprinkler system connection to the water            
   service.
