Amends the Pyrotechnic Operator Licensing Act by changing the short title to the Pyrotechnic Distributor and Operator Licensing Act and amends the Illinois Explosives Act to reflect that change. Defines "BATFE", "1.3G fireworks", "consumer fireworks", "facility", "flame effect", "pyrotechnic distributor", and "special effects fireworks". Provides that "display fireworks" means 1.3G or special effects fireworks (rather than any substance or article defined as a Division 1.3G or 1.4 explosive by the United States Department of Transportation). Provides for licensure requirements and rules for a pyrotechnic distributor (in addition to a lead pyrotechnic operator). Provides that the rules of the State Fire Marshal shall be based on nationally recognized standards, such as those of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1126 guidelines for proximate audience displays (rather than indoor displays) and NFPA 160 guidelines for flame effect displays. Provides that the State Fire Marshal shall conduct the training and examination of pyrotechnic operators and pyrotechnic distributors or may delegate the responsibility to train and examine pyrotechnic distributors and operators to the Department of Natural Resources. Provides that after January 1, 2006, all pyrotechnic displays must comply with the requirements set forth in the Act, no person may engage in pyrotechnic distribution, and no individual may act as a lead operator in a pyrotechnic display without first applying for and obtaining a license (now, after April 1, 2005, no individual may act as a lead operator in a pyrotechnic display without applying for and obtaining a license). Provides that applicants for a license must submit to the Office a license fee set by the Office and proof of having the requisite knowledge, either through training, examination, or continuing education, as established by Office rule. Removes the requirement that applicants for a lead pyrotechnic operator's license pass the examination presented by the Office. Provides that in order to be qualified to receive a license under the Act, a person must have, or have applied for, a BATFE explosives license or a Letter of Clearance from the BATFE. Provides that no pyrotechnic distributor shall allow any person in the pyrotechnic distributor's employ to act as a lead pyrotechnic distributor until the person has obtained a lead pyrotechnic operator's license from the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.House Amendment No. 2 Provides that "1.3G fireworks" means fireworks (rather than large fireworks) that are used for professional outdoor displays and receive a certain classification by the United States Department of Transportation. Provides that "Consumer fireworks" means fireworks (rather than small fireworks) that must comply with certain regulations of the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission and receive a certain classification by the United States Department of Transportation. 2/22/2005HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
