(225 ILCS 705/6.13) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 613)
Sec. 6.13.
Effective on or after January 1, 1977, it shall be unlawful
for the operator of any mine to employ underground any person in a
supervisory capacity who does not hold a certificate of competency as a
mine examiner or mine manager issued by the Mining Board; except those
engineering and maintenance supervisors who supervise persons engaged in
the maintenance and repair of underground equipment,
provided that these
supervisors have had training in mine ventilation and mine related
hazards approved by the Mining Board. Upon request, the Mining Board
may issue a temporary certificate of competency as mine examiner or mine
manager to any person who possesses a valid equivalent certificate
issued by the appropriate agency in another state, provided however that
such temporary certificate shall be valid only until the first available
examination given by the Mining Board
or 6 months, whichever is longer.
