Summary

The bill expands the Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal’s duties, making it responsible for investigating any fire or explosion that may have contributed to a death. It also changes incident reporting by requiring the use of the U.S. Fire Administration’s National Emergency Response Information System instead of the older NFIRS. The goal is to improve data consistency and ensure thorough investigations of fatal fires.
