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 | ||||

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.
