Rule 3-9(a) / Re-referred to Assignments
Summary
The bill adds a new section to the State Fire Marshal Act directing the Office of the State Fire Marshal to revise its regulations so that permanently moored vessels are defined as ships or barges permanently fixed in place and used for table gaming, rather than as transport vessels. This aligns Illinois rules with a 2004 U.S. Coast Guard policy and removes such craft from Coast Guard jurisdiction. The changes become effective on July 1, 2025.
