All Lake Michigan piers must have safety equipment such as life rings within a year under a measure prompted by a teen's drowning in Rogers Park.
A life ring was installed by the Chicago Park District at the end of the pier at Loyola Beach near Tobey Prinz Beach, Sept. 13, 2021, in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago.
The Lake Michigan Rescue Equipment Act requires those locations that provide direct public access to the water, whether publicly or privately owned, to at a minimum install an easily accessible flotation device, such as a life preserver. The act, effective in one year, also requires local governments to post warning signs in high-risk areas and standardize how they report drownings to the Illinois Department of Public Health.State Rep.
