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(225 ILCS 340/5.5) (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2030) Sec. 5.5. Technical submissions. (a) As used in this Section, "technical submissions" include the designs, drawings, and specifications that
establish the scope of the structural engineering project, the standard of quality for materials,
workmanship, equipment, and construction systems, and the
studies and other technical reports and calculations prepared
in the course of the practice of structural engineering. (b) All technical submissions intended for use related to services involving a structural engineer
in the State of Illinois shall be prepared and
administered in accordance with standards of reasonable
professional skill and diligence. Care shall be taken to
reflect the requirements of State statutes and, where
applicable, county and municipal building ordinances in such
submissions. In recognition that structural engineers are
licensed for the protection of the public health, safety, and
welfare, submissions shall be of such quality and scope, and be
so administered, as to conform to professional standards. (c) No officer, board, commission, or other public entity that receives technical submissions shall accept for filing or approval any technical submissions relating to services requiring the involvement of a structural engineer that do not bear the seal and signature of a structural engineer licensed under this Act. (d) It is unlawful to affix one's seal to technical submissions if it masks the true identity of the person who actually exercised responsible control of the preparation of such work. A structural engineer who seals and signs technical submissions is not responsible for damage caused by subsequent changes to or uses of those technical submissions where the subsequent changes or uses, including changes or uses made by State or local governmental agencies, are not authorized or approved in writing by the structural engineer who originally sealed and signed the technical submissions.
