| ||||
AN ACT concerning health.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Food Handling Regulation Enforcement Act is | ||||
amended by changing Section 3 as follows:
| ||||
(410 ILCS 625/3) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 333)
| ||||
Sec. 3.
Each food service establishment shall be under the | ||||
operational
supervision of a certified food service sanitation | ||||
manager in accordance
with rules promulgated under this Act.
| ||||
By July 1, 1990, the Director of the Department of Public | ||||
Health in
accordance with this Act, shall
promulgate rules for | ||||
the education, examination, and certification of food
service | ||||
establishment managers and instructors of the food service
| ||||
sanitation manager certification education programs. Beginning | ||||
January 1, 2018, any individual who has completed a minimum of | ||||
8 hours of Department-approved training for food service | ||||
sanitation manager certification, inclusive of the | ||||
examination, and received a passing score on the examination | ||||
set by the certification exam provider accredited under | ||||
standards developed and adopted by the Conference for Food | ||||
Protection or its successor organization, shall be considered | ||||
to be a certified food service sanitation manager. Beginning | ||||
January 1, 2018, any individual who has completed a minimum of | ||||
8 hours of Department-approved training for food service | ||
sanitation manager instructor certification, inclusive of the | ||
examination, and received a passing score on the examination | ||
set by the certification exam provider accredited under | ||
standards developed and adopted by the Conference for Food | ||
Protection or its successor organization, shall be considered | ||
to be a certified food service sanitation manager instructor. | ||
Beginning July 1, 2014, any individual seeking a food service | ||
sanitation manager certificate or a food service sanitation | ||
manager
instructor certificate must complete a minimum of 8 | ||
hours of Department-approved training, inclusive of the | ||
examination, and receive a passing score on the examination set | ||
by the certification exam provider accredited under standards | ||
developed and adopted by the Conference for Food Protection or | ||
its successor organization. A food service
sanitation manager | ||
certificate and a food service sanitation manager
instructor | ||
certificate issued by the exam provider shall be valid for 5 | ||
years, unless revoked by the
Department of Public Health, and | ||
shall not be transferable from the
individual to whom it was | ||
issued. Beginning July 1, 2014, recertification for food | ||
service sanitation manager certification shall be accomplished | ||
by
presenting evidence of completion of 8 hours of | ||
Department-approved training, inclusive of the examination, | ||
and having received a passing score on the examination set by | ||
the certification exam provider accredited under standards | ||
developed and adopted by the Conference for Food Protection or | ||
its successor organization.
| ||
For purposes of certification and recertification for food | ||
service sanitation manager certification, the Department shall | ||
accept only training approved by the Department and | ||
certification exams accredited under standards developed and | ||
adopted by the Conference for Food Protection or its successor.
| ||
The Department shall charge
a fee of $35 for each new and | ||
renewed food service sanitation manager
certificate and $10 for | ||
each replacement certificate.
All fees collected
under this | ||
Section shall be deposited into the Food and Drug Safety Fund.
| ||
Any
fee received by the Department under this Section that | ||
is submitted for the
renewal of an expired food service | ||
sanitation manager certificate may be
returned by the Director | ||
after recording the receipt of the fee and the reason
for its | ||
return.
| ||
The Department shall award an Illinois certificate to | ||
anyone presenting a valid certificate issued by another state, | ||
so long as the holder of the certificate provides proof of | ||
having passed an examination accredited under standards | ||
developed and adopted by the Conference for Food Protection or | ||
its successor. The $35 issuance fee applies. The reciprocal | ||
Illinois certificate shall expire on the same date as the | ||
presented certificate. On or before the expiration date, the | ||
holder must have met the Illinois recertification requirements | ||
in order to be reissued an Illinois certificate. Reciprocity is | ||
only for individuals who have moved to or begun working in | ||
Illinois in the 6 months prior to applying for reciprocity. Any | ||
individual presenting an out-of-state certificate may do so | ||
only once. | ||
