4     Section 10. The Structural Pest Control Act is amended by
5 adding Section 26 as follows:
 
6     (225 ILCS 235/26 new)
7     Sec. 26. Continuation of Act; validation.
8     (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
9         (1) Public Act 94-754, which became effective on May
10     10, 2006, changed the repeal date set for the Structural
11     Pest Control Act within the Regulatory Sunset Act from
12     January 1, 2007 to January 1, 2008.
13         (2) The Statute on Statutes sets forth general rules on
14     the repeal of statutes and the construction of multiple
15     amendments, but Section 1 of that Act also states that
16     these rules will not be observed when the result would be
17     "inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General
18     Assembly or repugnant to the context of the statute".
19         (3) This amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly
20     manifests the intention of the General Assembly to remove
21     the current repealer of the Structural Pest Control Act set
22     forth in the Regulatory Sunset Act and have the Structural
23     Pest Control Act continue in effect beyond January 1, 2008.
24         (4) The Structural Pest Control Act was originally

 

 

HB4407 - 3 - LRB095 16529 RAS 42560 b

1     enacted to protect, promote, and preserve the public health
2     and general welfare. Any construction of subsection (a) of
3     Section 4.18 of the Regulatory Sunset Act that results in
4     the repeal of the Structural Pest Control Act on January 1,
5     2008 would be inconsistent with the manifest intent of the
6     General Assembly and repugnant to the context of the
7     Regulatory Sunset Act and the Structural Pest Control Act,
8     and would create serious potential risks to the health and
9     safety of the people of Illinois.
10     (b) It is hereby declared to have been the intent of the
11 General Assembly that the Structural Pest Control Act not be
12 subject to repeal on January 1, 2008.
13     (c) The Structural Pest Control Act shall be deemed to have
14 been in continuous effect since May 10, 2006 (the effective
15 date of Public Act 94-754), and it shall continue to be in
16 effect henceforward until it is otherwise lawfully repealed.
17 All previously enacted amendments to the Act taking effect on
18 or after January 1, 2008, are hereby validated.
19     (d) All actions taken in reliance on or pursuant to the
20 Structural Pest Control Act by the Department of Public Health
21 or any other person or entity are hereby validated.
22     (e) In order to ensure the continuing effectiveness of the
23 Structural Pest Control Act, it is set forth in full and
24 re-enacted by this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly.
25 This re-enactment is intended as a continuation of the Act. It
26 is not intended to supersede any amendment to the Act that is

 

 

HB4407 - 4 - LRB095 16529 RAS 42560 b

1 enacted by the 95th General Assembly.
2         (f) The Structural Pest Control Act applies to all
3 claims, civil actions, and proceedings pending on or filed on
4 or before the effective date of this Act.
 
5     Section 15. The Structural Pest Control Act is re-enacted
6 as follows:
 
7     (225 ILCS 235/Act title)  (Structural Pest Control Act.)
8 An Act to license and regulate structural pest control
9 operators and certify pest control technicians, to make certain
10 exemptions for the State and its political subdivisions and to
11 provide penalties for the violation thereof.
 
12     (225 ILCS 235/1)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 2201)
13     (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2008)
14     Sec. 1. Short title). This Act shall be known and may be
15 cited as the "Structural Pest Control Act".
16 (Source: P.A. 82-725.)
 
17     (225 ILCS 235/2)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 2202)
18     (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2008)
19     Sec. 2. Legislative intent. It is declared that there
20 exists and may in the future exist within the State of Illinois
21 locations where pesticides are received, stored, formulated or
22 prepared and subsequently used for the control of structural

 

 

HB4407 - 5 - LRB095 16529 RAS 42560 b

1 pests, and improper selection, formulation and application of
2 pesticides may adversely affect the public health and general
3 welfare.
4     It is further established that the use of certain
5 pesticides is restricted or may in the future be restricted to
6 use only by or under the supervision of persons certified in
7 accordance with this Act.
8     It is recognized that pests can best be controlled through
9 an integrated pest management program that combines preventive
10 techniques, nonchemical pest control methods, and the
11 appropriate use of pesticides with preference for products that
12 are the least harmful to human health and the environment.
13 Integrated pest management is a good practice in the management
14 of pest populations, and it is prudent to employ pest control
15 strategies that are the least hazardous to human health and the
16 environment.
17     Therefore, the purpose of this Act is to protect, promote
18 and preserve the public health and general welfare by providing
19 for the establishment of minimum standards for selection,
20 formulation and application of restricted pesticides and to
21 provide for the licensure of commercial structural pest control
22 businesses, the registration of persons who own or operate
23 non-commercial structural pest control locations where
24 restricted pesticides are used, and the certification of pest
25 control technicians.
26     It is also the purpose of this Act to reduce economic,

 

 

HB4407 - 6 - LRB095 16529 RAS 42560 b

1 health, and environmental risks by promoting the use of
2 integrated pest management for structural pest control in
3 schools and day care centers, by making guidelines on
4 integrated pest management available to schools and day care
5 centers.

22 its designated person attend a training course on integrated
23 pest management within one year after the effective date of
