(Springfield, IL) -- New legislation in Illinois aims to keep residents safe during severe weather.
A new law passed last week requires weather radios to be installed in all manufactured homes built after 2023. That includes mobile homes, or buildings constructed elsewhere and placed on a lot.
The law also requires mobile home community operators to remind residents to replace batteries in weather radios and smoke detectors once a year.
