11 construction, materials, operation and maintenance of private
12 sewage disposal systems, for the transportation and disposal of

3 after investigation that such program is not in accordance with
4 the approved program or is not being enforced, the Director
5 shall give written notice of the findings to the chief

7 Department thereafter finds, not less than 30 days after the
8 giving of such notice that the program is not being conducted
9 in a manner consistent with existing ordinances, the Director
10 shall give written notice of such findings to the chief
11 administrative officer of the unit of local government, and
12 after administrative hearing as provided in this Act, all
13 persons then operating under such unit of local government
14 shall be immediately subject to the state licensure, fee and
15 inspection program.
16     (b) This Act does not prohibit the enforcement of
17 ordinances of units of local government that require homeowners
18 who maintain a private sewage disposal system within the unit
19 of local government to provide verification, no more frequently
20 than once every 3 years, to the unit of local government of a
21 valid contract with a licensed private sewage disposal system
22 installation contractor. However, no additional fee may be
