25         (2) The Sanitation SOPs must be signed and dated by the
26     individual with overall authority on-site or a higher level

 

 

HB1019 Enrolled - 3 - LRB095 10929 CMK 31218 b

1     official of the establishment. This signature shall
2     signify that the establishment shall implement the
3     Sanitation SOPs as specified and maintain the Sanitation
4     SOPs in accordance with the requirements of this subsection
5     (c). The Sanitation SOPs must be signed and dated upon the
6     initial implementation of the Sanitation SOPs and upon any
7     modification to the Sanitation SOPs.
8         (3) Procedures set forth in the Sanitation SOPs that
9     are to be conducted prior to operations must be identified

13         (4) The Sanitation SOPs must specify the frequency with
14     which each procedure in the Sanitation SOPs shall be
15     conducted and identify the establishment employees
16     responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the

HB1019 Enrolled - 4 - LRB095 10929 CMK 31218 b

1     effectiveness of the Sanitation SOPs and the procedures set
2     forth therein in preventing direct contamination or
3     adulteration of products and shall revise both as necessary

5     therein effective and current with respect to changes in
6     facilities, equipment, utensils, operations, or personnel.
7         (8) A licensee must take appropriate corrective action
8     when either the establishment itself or the Department
9     determines that the Sanitation SOPs or the procedures
10     specified therein or the implementation or maintenance of
11     the Sanitation SOPs may have failed to prevent direct
12     contamination or adulteration of products. Corrective
13     actions include procedures to ensure appropriate
14     disposition of products that may be contaminated, restore
15     sanitary conditions, and prevent the recurrence of direct
16     contamination or adulteration of products, such as

HB1019 Enrolled - 5 - LRB095 10929 CMK 31218 b

1     authenticate these records with their initials and the
2     date. The records required to be maintained under this item
3     (9) may be maintained on computers, provided that the
4     establishment implements appropriate controls to ensure
5     the integrity of the electronic data. Records must be
6     maintained for at least 6 months and made available to the
7     Department upon request. All records must be maintained at
8     the licensed establishment for 48 hours following
9     completion, after which the records may be maintained
10     off-site, provided that the records may be made available
11     to the Department within 24 hours of request.
12         (10) The Department shall verify the adequacy and

17             (A) reviewing the Sanitation SOPs;
18             (B) reviewing the daily records documenting the
19         implementation of the Sanitation SOPs and the
20         procedures set forth therein and any corrective
21         actions taken or required to be taken;
22             (C) direct observation of the implementation of
23         the Sanitation SOPs and the procedures specified
24         therein and any corrective actions taken or required to

11     collected, whichever is sooner.
12         (4) Upon a licensee's meeting the requirements of item
13     (3) of this subsection (d), weekly sampling and testing
14     shall be optional, unless changes are made in establishment
15     facilities, equipment, personnel, or procedures that may

20     be provided to the licensee in writing.
21         (5) Laboratories may use any quantitative method for
22     the analysis of E. coli that is approved as an AOAC
23     Official Method of the AOAC International (formerly the

4     confidence limit of the appropriate MPN index.
5         (6) A licensee must maintain accurate records of all
6     test results, in terms of CFU/cm2 of surface area sponged

12         (7) Licensees must meet the following criteria for the
13     evaluation of test results:
14             (A) A licensee excising samples from carcasses
15         shall be deemed as operating within the criteria of
16         this item (7) when the most recent E. coli test result
17         does not exceed the upper limit (M), and the number of
18         samples, if any, testing positive at levels above (m)

14     forth in item (7) of this subsection (d) are an indication
15     that the establishment may not be maintaining process
16     controls sufficient to prevent fecal contamination. The
17     Department shall take further action as appropriate to
18     ensure that all applicable provisions of this Section are
19     being met.

21     been collected, whichever is sooner.
22         (4) Upon a licensee's meeting the requirements of item
23     (3) of this subsection (e), weekly sampling and testing

6     Sec. 3. Upon its becoming known to the Department that any
7 animals are infected, or suspected of being infected, with any
8 contagious or infectious disease, or contaminated with any
9 chemical or radiological substance, the Department shall have
10 the authority to quarantine and to cause proper examination

14 or other animals, the Department shall order such diseased or
15 contaminated animals and such as have been exposed to such
16 disease or contamination, and the premises in or on which they
17 are, or have recently occupied, to be quarantined. The
18 Department shall also have the authority to issue area-wide
19 quarantines on animals and premises in order to control the
20 spread of the dangerously contagious or infectious disease and
21 to reduce the spread of contamination. The Department may, in
22 connection with any such quarantine, order that no animal which
23 has been or is so diseased, contaminated, or exposed to such
24 disease or contamination, may be removed from the premises so
25 quarantined and that no animal susceptible to such disease or

1 so quarantined. Such notice shall be written or printed, or
2 partly written and partly printed, with an explanation of the
3 contents thereof. Such quarantine shall be sufficiently proved
4 in any court by the production of a true copy of such notice of
5 quarantine together with an affidavit, sworn to by the officer

7 notice, containing a statement that the original thereof was
8 delivered or mailed in the manner herein prescribed.
9     Every quarantine so established shall remain in effect
10 until removed by order of the Department. Any person aggrieved
11 by any quarantine may appeal to the Department which shall
12 thereupon sustain, modify or annul the quarantine as it may
13 deem proper. Quarantines will be removed when epidemiological
14 evidence indicates that the disease or contamination threat to
15 humans or other animals no longer exists.

17     (510 ILCS 50/9)  (from Ch. 8, par. 176)
18     Sec. 9. The Department may promulgate and adopt reasonable
19 rules and regulations to prevent the spread of any
20 contamination or contagious or infectious disease within this
21 State. If the condition so warrants, the Director may request
22 the Governor to issue a proclamation quarantining an affected
23 municipality or geographical district whereby all animals of
24 the kind diseased or contaminated would not be permitted to be
25 moved from one premises to another within the municipality or

 

 

HB1019 Enrolled - 18 - LRB095 10929 CMK 31218 b

2 unfenced lot or piece of ground, or from being brought into, or
3 taken from the infected or contaminated municipality or
4 geographical district, except by a special permit, signed by
5 the Director. Any such proclamation shall, from the time of its
6 publication, bind all persons. Within one week after the
7 publication of any such proclamation, every person who owns, or
8 who is in charge of animals of the kind diseased or
9 contaminated within the municipality or geographical district,
10 shall report to the Department the number and description of
11 such animals, their location, and the name and address of the
12 owner or person in charge, and during the continuance of the
13 quarantine to report to the Department all cases of sickness,
14 deaths or births among such animals.

16     (510 ILCS 50/10)  (from Ch. 8, par. 177)
17     Sec. 10. The Department may promulgate and adopt reasonable
