What the record says
The passages that set the edition, quoted from the state’s own pages, each 30 words or fewer.
“Amended at 43 Ill. Reg. 10008, effective January 1, 2020”
“NFPA 101, Life Safety Code (2015 Edition)”
Exceptions and notes
State rules adopt NFPA 101 (2015) and NFPA 1 (2015) only as cited in (c)(11); 2015 editions predate NFPA 855, so no state route to it. Neither NFPA 855 nor energy storage appears in 100.7.
