Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(105 ILCS 105/12c) (from Ch. 122, par. 1412c)

Sec. 12c.

Under emergency conditions, an employee of a school district
may clean or dispose of less than 3 linear feet or 3 square feet of friable
or non-friable asbestos containing material in schools without meeting the
definition of an "asbestos worker" as defined in this Act, provided the
employee has completed the maximum asbestos awareness program provided for
in federal law or rules.  "Emergency conditions" for the purpose of this
Section shall mean:

1) the facility is without heat, water, gas, or electric; or

2) the facility is unable to keep outside elements such as water from
entering the interior of the structure; or

3) the dislodging or falling of less than 3 linear feet or 3 square feet
of asbestos containing materials.

The Department may further define, by rule, what
circumstances constitute an "emergency condition" under this Section.  The
Department may also set forth, by rule, the training or
awareness program a school employee must meet as a prerequisite to
conducting of asbestos clean-up or disposal pursuant to this Section.
