SB2193

Illinois SB2193 mandates ventilation improvements in schools, including air quality monitoring and mechanical ventilation assessments.

Illinois SB2193 focuses on enhancing school ventilation systems. It requires school districts to ensure active classrooms have functioning windows or mechanical ventilation. Schools must equip classrooms with air quality monitors and in-room air cleaners, with records of any breaches in air quality standards kept for five years. The State Board of Education must develop an educational document on indoor air quality and provide it to schools. Additionally, regional offices of education must assess the operation of mechanical ventilation systems against design parameters and building codes.
