Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(225 ILCS 320/37) (from Ch. 111, par. 1135)

Sec. 37.

Each governmental unit which is authorized to adopt and has adopted
any ordinance or resolution regulating plumbing may provide for its administration
and enforcement
by requiring permits for any plumbing system installation, the inspection of plumbing
system installations by inspectors who are licensed as plumbers in accordance with the
Illinois Plumbing License Law, and the issue of certificates of approval
or compliance which
shall be evidence that a plumbing system has been installed in compliance with the Code
of standards so adopted.

A letter of intent shall be included with all plumbing permit applications.  The letter shall be written on the licensed plumber of record's business stationery and shall include the license holder's signature and, if the license holder is incorporated, the license holder's corporate seal.  If the license holder is not incorporated, the letter must be notarized.

A governmental unit authorized to adopt regulations may, by ordinance or resolution,
prescribe reasonable fees for the issue of permits for installation work, the issue of
certificates of compliance or approval, and for the inspection of plumbing
installations.
