SB2659 amends Illinois rules to define permanently moored craft as vessels used for table gaming and permanently fixed to a foundation.
SB2659 amends the State Fire Marshal Act to require the Office of State Fire Marshal to update rules regarding permanently moored craft. These are defined as ships, barges, or other craft used for table gaming and permanently fixed to a foundation, lacking the capability to be used as transportation on water. This change aligns with the U.S. Coast Guard's 2004 Federal Register notice, clarifying that such craft are not vessels designed for gaming operations. The amendment takes effect July 1, 2025.
