Illinois Bill Allowing Fire Departments to Do Monitoring Moves to Executive Committee
On February 14, 2014 as SDM previously reported, Illinois Representative Timothy Schmitz (R) introduced House Bill 5683 (HB5683), an amendment to the Fire Protection District Act to allow the adoption of ordinances regulating the supervision and monitoring of fire alarm systems maintained within a district.
On March 3, 2014, the bill was moved to the state’s Executive Committee of the House. If Schmitz calls the bill for review and it is approved by the committee, the next step would be for the bill to continue on to another committee or to go in front of the House.
