under construction for his or her occupancy, for a period of not less

presumption of a lack of such intention.

corporation who engage in plumbing shall be licensed plumbers or
licensed apprentice plumbers. At least one member of every firm,
association or partnership engaged in plumbing work, and at least one
corporate officer of every corporation engaged in plumbing work, as

apprentice.

unless he or she is properly licensed under this Act. The
Department shall issue an apprentice plumber's license to each
approved applicant.
(i) No licensed apprentice plumber shall serve more than a

6 year licensed apprenticeship period, such licensed apprentice

municipal water supplier to be licensed plumbers under this Act. In

General Assembly nor should it be construed to permit persons other
than licensed plumbers to perform the installation, repair,
maintenance or replacement of plumbing fixtures, such as toilet
facilities, floor drains, showers and lavatories, and the piping
attendant to those fixtures, within such facility or in the
construction of a new facility.
Nothing contained in P.A. 83-878, entitled "An Act in relation to
professions", approved September 26, 1983, was intended by the
General Assembly nor should it be construed to require the employees
of a governmental unit or privately owned municipal water supplier
who install, repair or maintain water service lines from water mains
in the street, alley or curb line to private property lines and who
install, repair or maintain water meters to be licensed plumbers
under this Act if such work was customarily performed prior to the
effective date of such Act by employees of such governmental unit or
privately owned municipal water supplier who were not licensed
plumbers. Any such work which was customarily performed prior to the
effective date of such Act by persons who were licensed plumbers or
subcontracted to persons who were licensed plumbers must continue to
be performed by persons who are licensed plumbers or subcontracted to
persons who are licensed plumbers. When necessary under this Act,
the Department shall make the determination whether or not persons
who are licensed plumbers customarily performed such work.

fixing a date, not less than 20 days from the date of the mailing or

individual designated in writing by the Director as a hearing officer
to conduct the hearing. The Director or hearing officer shall give
written notice of the time and place of the hearing, by certified

The Department at its expense shall provide a court reporter to
take testimony. Technical error in the proceedings before the
Department or hearing officer or their failure to observe the
technical rules of evidence shall not be grounds for the reversal of
any administrative decision unless it appears to the Court that such
error or failure materially affects the rights of any party and
results in substantial injustice to them.
The Department or hearing officer, or any parties in an
investigation or hearing before the Department, may cause the
depositions of witnesses within the State to be taken in the manner
prescribed by law for depositions in civil actions in courts of this
State, and compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of

cost shall be paid by the party requesting a copy of the record.
