Rep. Amy Grant opposes SB3393 mandating report on fire sprinkler contractor training

Rep. Amy L. Grant (R-47th) cast a No vote on SB3393, legislation calling for a report on training requirements for fire sprinkler contractors, during the 104th General Assembly on May 31, 2026, Illinois House records show; the measure cleared the House on an 86-30 vote.

The measure’s summary, as provided in the official bill text, reads: "OSFM-CONTINUING EDUCATION."

The following information reflects details from the bill’s full text, which may be interpreted to clarify its policies.

This legislation updates the Fire Sprinkler Contractor Licensing Act, requiring the Office of the State Fire Marshal to produce a report assessing the effectiveness and impact of the law’s continuing education requirements for licensed fire sprinkler contractors. It mandates recommendations for statutory or regulatory changes and sets a Dec. 31, 2026, deadline for the report’s submission to the General Assembly. The bill is designed to review whether current training regulations remain relevant and effective. It takes effect immediately upon becoming law.

The official action for SB3393 was 'Third Reading - Short Debate - Passed.'

Grant earned a BS from the University of Pittsburgh in 1980.

She was elected as a Republican to the Illinois State House in 2023 for the 47th House District, succeeding former representative Deanne Mazzochi.

Illinois bills follow a multi-step legislative process, beginning with their introduction in either legislative chamber, proceeding through committees, floor debate, and full votes in the House and Senate before being sent to the governor for approval or veto. The General Assembly operates on a two-year cycle, and while thousands of proposals are introduced per session, only a portion are enacted into law.
