The bill amends the Fire Prevention Code of 1941 by updating section 2c to allow the bureau to charge inspection fees for hospitals, nursing homes, homes for the aged, and adult foster care facilities with a capacity for more than six adults. The language specifies that these fees must be deposited into a restricted account within the general fund and can only be used to fund the services for which they were collected. Additionally, the bill mandates that the fees must remain in the restricted account at the end of the fiscal year and establishes that the fee schedule will be included in each fiscal year's appropriations act for the department.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for the department to increase the fees annually based on the average percentage wage and salary increase for classified civil service employees. It requires the department to provide a complete schedule of fees for the upcoming fiscal year to key legislative figures by August 1 each year. The definition of "adult foster care facility with capacity for more than 6 adults" is also clarified, referencing terms from the adult foster care facility licensing act.
