A bill to address tornado preparedness at warehouses has advanced to the Illinois Senate.
State Rep. Katie Stuart of Edwardsville recalled six workers who died in 2021 when an Amazon warehouse collapsed during a tornado.
House Bill 2987 also includes building inspector training and specifications for new construction.
Stuart told state Rep. Ryan Spain the measure was not aimed at grain bins or fertilizer storage.
The House approved the bill. It now goes to the state Senate for consideration.
