New Illinois Smoke Alarm Law
What is the New Illinois Smoke Alarm Law?
– Since 1988, all dwellings in Illinois have been required to have smoke alarms.
– In 2017, Public Act 200 was passed to update the Illinois Smoke Detector Act to reflect advances in technology.
– Come January 1, 2023, single and multi-family homes that are still using smoke alarms with removable batteries are required to install new alarms that feature 10-year sealed battery alarms.
