RESOLUTION
(UNFUNDED MANDATE- FIRE MARSHAL)
WHEREAS, the Office of the State Fire Marshal submitted a proposed rule on June 28, 2013, adopting the 2012 NFPA 101 Life Safety Code; and,
WHEREAS, the current adopted code is the 2000 NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, which contained modifications to lessen the financial burden on homeowners; and,
WHEREAS, the Office of the State Fire Marshal wants to adopt a new rule that includes a requirement for the installment of fire sprinkler systems in new homes and two- family dwellings, and also requiring the retro- fitting of sprinklers in high rises and areas of assembly; and,
WHEREAS, the cost of building a new home or living in a high rise will significantly increase under such a rule, impacting the local real estate market, the new housing market, the ability to create affordable housing and the ability for municipalities to grow; and,
WHEREAS, the Office of the State Marshal has stated it is the duty of all local jurisdictions to enforce the NFPA Life Safety Cods, as adopted by the Office of the State Fire Marshal; and,
WHEREAS, the adoption of the 2012 NFPA 101 Life Safety Code will lead to various other unfunded state mandates, escalating costs for local governments; and,
WHEREAS, the Clay County Board believes that the local officials have the best knowledge of what building requirements should be adopted and enforced within their community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Clay County, Illinois, urges the rejection of any attempt by the Office of the State Fire Marshal to adopt the 2012 NFPA 101 Life Safety Code in any such manner that undermines local authority and control, and adds substantial financial costs with the imposition of the code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if State determines that 2012 NFPS 101 Life Safety Code shall be adopted, small and rural counties with fewer than 100,000 citizens would be exempt from the requirements.
