    AN ACT concerning State government.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  


 
 
    Section 5. The State Fire Marshal Act is amended  by adding 
Section 4 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 2905/4 new)
    Sec. 4. Rebuilt flame safeguard controls. 
    (a) Beginning July 1, 2012, the use of a rebuilt flame 
safeguard control in forced air heating equipment in any 
non-residential structure is prohibited, unless the rebuilt 
flame safeguard control is labeled and listed by a nationally 
recognized testing agency. This prohibition does not apply to 
structures used for production agriculture, as defined in 
Section 3-35 of the Use Tax Act. 
    For the purposes of this Section, "flame safeguard control" 
means a modular burner management system that is designed to 
provide automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for 
use in forced air heating equipment that uses gas or light oil 
fuels, or both. 
    (b) Willful failure to remove any rebuilt flame safeguard 
control in forced air heating equipment as required by this Act 
is a Class B misdemeanor. 
    Tampering with, removing, destroying, or disconnecting any 
installed flame safeguard control, except in the course of 
inspection, maintenance, or replacement of the control, is a 
Class A misdemeanor for the first conviction and a Class 4 
felony for  a second or subsequent conviction.
