Illinois Compiled Statutes - Full Text
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
(225 ILCS 335/11) (from Ch. 111, par. 7511) (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2031) Sec. 11. Application of Act. (1) Nothing in this Act limits the power of a municipality, city, county, incorporated area, or school district to regulate the quality and character of work performed by roofing contractors through a system of permits, fees, and inspections which are designed to secure compliance with and aid in the implementation of State and local building laws or to enforce other local laws for the protection of the public health and safety. (2) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require a seller of roofing services or a seller of roofing materials to be licensed as a roofing contractor when the construction, reconstruction, alteration, maintenance or repair of roofing or waterproofing is to be performed by a person other than the seller or the seller's employees. (3) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require a person who performs roofing or waterproofing work to the person's own property, or for no consideration, to be licensed as a roofing contractor. (3.5) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require an employee who performs roofing or waterproofing work to an employer's residential property, where there exists an employee-employer relationship or for no consideration, to be licensed as a roofing contractor. (4) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require a person who performs roof repair or waterproofing work to an employer's commercial or industrial property to be licensed as a roofing contractor, where there exists an employer-employee relationship. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to apply to the installation of plastics, glass or fiberglass to greenhouses and related horticultural structures, or to the repair or construction of farm buildings. (5) Nothing in this Act limits the power of a municipality, city, county, incorporated area, or school district to collect occupational license and inspection fees for engaging in roofing contracting. (6) Nothing in this Act limits the power of the municipalities, cities, counties, incorporated areas, or school districts to adopt any system of permits requiring submission to and approval by the municipality, city, county, or incorporated area of plans and specifications for work to be performed by roofing contractors before commencement of the work. (7) Any official authorized to issue building or other related permits shall ascertain that the applicant contractor is duly licensed before issuing the permit. The evidence shall consist only of the exhibition to him or her of current evidence of licensure. (8) This Act applies to any roofing contractor performing work for the State or any municipality, city, county, incorporated area, or school district. Officers of the State or any municipality, city, county, incorporated area, or school district are required to determine compliance with this Act before awarding any contracts for construction, improvement, remodeling, or repair. (9) If an incomplete contract exists at the time of death of a qualifying party or the dissolution of a roofing contractor licensee, the contract may be completed by any person even though not licensed or credentialed. Such person shall notify the Department within 30 days after the death of the qualifying party or the dissolution of the roofing contractor of the person's name and address. For purposes of this subsection (9), an incomplete contract is one which has been awarded to, or entered into by, the licensee before the dissolution or the death of the qualifying party or on which the licensee was the low bidder and the contract is subsequently awarded to the roofing contractor regardless of whether any actual work has commenced under the contract before the dissolution or the death of the qualifying party. (10) The State or any municipality, city, county, incorporated area, or school district may require that bids submitted for roofing construction, improvement, remodeling, or repair of public buildings be accompanied by evidence that that bidder holds an appropriate license issued pursuant to this Act. (11) (Blank). (12) Nothing in this Act shall prevent a municipality, city, county, incorporated area, or school district from making laws or ordinances that are more stringent than those contained in this Act. (13) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prevent or limit the practice of professional engineering as defined in the Professional Engineering Practice Act of 1989 or the practice of structural engineering as defined in the Structural Engineering Practice Act of 1989.
