SB1742

SPRINGFIELD — A severe rooftop safety hazard for Illinois firefighters will be mended thanks to a new law championed by State Senator Mike Porfirio.

“This is a profound advancement for the safety of Illinois firefighters,” said Porfirio (D-Lyons Township). “The widespread support for this law is a demonstration of Illinois’ commitment to protecting the first responders who serve us bravely every day.”

The Drew Price Act is named in commemoration of a Chicago firefighter who tragically fell through a light shaft while putting out a fire on the roof of a restaurant. First responders often face difficulty traveling on roofs, especially when there is low visibility from smoke. The law directly addresses the risk that Drew faced, ensuring all new buildings with a light shaft or opening have a guardrail or parapet installed to limit the risk of falling through.
