    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  
 
 
    Section 5. The Community-Integrated Living Arrangements 
Licensure and

13 as follows:
 
    (210 ILCS 135/13)
    Sec. 13. Fire inspections; authority. 
    (a) Per the requirements of Public Act 96-1141, on January 
1, 2011 a report titled "Streamlined Auditing and Monitoring 
for Community Based Services: First Steps Toward a More 
Efficient System for Providers, State Government, and the 
Community" was provided for members of the General Assembly.  
The report, which was developed by a steering committee of 
community providers, trade associations, and designated 
representatives from the Departments of Children and Family 
Services, Healthcare and Family Services, Human Services, and 
Public Health, issued a series of recommendations, including 
recommended changes to Administrative Rules and Illinois 
statutes, on the categories of deemed status for accreditation, 
fiscal audits, centralized repository of information, 
Medicaid, technology, contracting, and streamlined monitoring 
procedures.  It is the intent of the 97th General Assembly to 
pursue implementation of those recommendations that have been 
determined to require Acts of the General Assembly.
    (b) For community-integrated living arrangements licensed 
under this Act, the Office of the State Fire Marshal shall 
provide the necessary fire inspection to comply with licensing 
requirements. The Office of the State Fire Marshal may enter 
into an agreement with another State agency to conduct this 
inspection if qualified personnel are employed by that agency 
code enforcement inspection of the facility by the local 
authority may occur if the local authority  having jurisdiction 
enforces code requirements that are equal to those enforced by 
the State Fire Marshal. Nothing in this Section shall limit a 
local authority with jurisdiction from conducting local code 
inspection and enforcement or prohibit a local fire authority 
from conducting fire incident planning activities.
