| 1 | AN ACT concerning professional regulation.
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Illinois Roofing Industry Licensing Act is | |||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | amended by changing Section 3.5 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 6 | (225 ILCS 335/3.5)
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 7 | (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2016)
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 8 | Sec. 3.5. Examination.
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 9 | (a) The Department shall authorize examinations for | |||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | applicants for
initial licenses at the time and place it may
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | designate. The examinations shall be of a character to fairly | |||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | test the
competence and qualifications of applicants to act as | |||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | roofing contractors.
Each applicant for limited licenses shall | |||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | designate a qualifying party who
shall
take an examination, the | |||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | technical
portion of which shall cover residential roofing | |||||||||||||||||||
| 16 | practices. Each applicant for
an
unlimited license shall | |||||||||||||||||||
| 17 | designate a qualifying party who shall take an
examination, the | |||||||||||||||||||
| 18 | technical portion of which
shall cover residential, | |||||||||||||||||||
| 19 | commercial, and industrial roofing practices.
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 20 | (b) An applicant for a limited license or an unlimited | |||||||||||||||||||
| 21 | license or a
qualifying party designated by an applicant for a | |||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | limited license or unlimited
license
shall pay, either to the | |||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | Department or the
designated testing service, a fee established | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | by the Department to cover the
cost of providing the | ||||||
| 2 | examination. Failure of the individual scheduled
to appear for | ||||||
| 3 | the
examination on
the scheduled date at the time and place | ||||||
| 4 | specified after his or her application
for examination has been | ||||||
| 5 | received and acknowledged by the Department
or the designated | ||||||
| 6 | testing service shall result in forfeiture of the examination
| ||||||
| 7 | fee.
| ||||||
| 8 | (c) A person who has a license as described in subsection | ||||||
| 9 | (1.5) of Section 3
is exempt from the examination requirement | ||||||
| 10 | of this Section, so long as (1) the
license continues to be | ||||||
| 11 | valid and is renewed before expiration and (2) the
person is | ||||||
| 12 | not newly designated as a qualifying party after July 1, 2003. | ||||||
| 13 | The
qualifying party for an
applicant for a new license must | ||||||
| 14 | have passed an examination authorized by
the Department
before
| ||||||
| 15 | the Department may issue a license.
| ||||||
| 16 | (d) The application for a license as a corporation, | ||||||
| 17 | business trust, or other legal entity submitted by a sole | ||||||
| 18 | proprietor who is currently licensed under this Act and exempt | ||||||
| 19 | from the examination requirement of this Section shall not be | ||||||
| 20 | considered an application for initial licensure for the | ||||||
| 21 | purposes of this subsection (d) if the sole proprietor is named | ||||||
| 22 | in the application as the qualifying party and is the sole | ||||||
| 23 | owner of the legal entity. Upon issuance of a license to the | ||||||
| 24 | new legal entity, the sole proprietorship license is | ||||||
| 25 | terminated. | ||||||
| 26 | The application for initial licensure as a partnership, | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | corporation, business trust, or other legal entity submitted by | ||||||
| 2 | a currently licensed partnership, corporation, business trust, | ||||||
| 3 | or other legal entity shall not be considered an application | ||||||
| 4 | for initial licensure for the purposes of this subsection (d) | ||||||
| 5 | if the entity's current qualifying party is exempt from the | ||||||
| 6 | examination requirement of this Section, that qualifying party | ||||||
| 7 | is named as the new legal entity's qualifying party, and the | ||||||
| 8 | majority of ownership in the new legal entity remains the same | ||||||
| 9 | as the currently licensed entity. Upon issuance of a license to | ||||||
| 10 | the new legal entity under this subsection (d), the former | ||||||
| 11 | license issued to the applicant is terminated.
| ||||||
| 12 | (e) An applicant has 3 years after the date of his or her | ||||||
| 13 | application to complete
the application process. If the process | ||||||
| 14 | has not been completed within 3 years,
the application shall be | ||||||
| 15 | denied, the fee shall be forfeited, and the applicant
must | ||||||
| 16 | reapply and meet the requirements in effect at the time of
| ||||||
| 17 | reapplication.
