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 235/10.2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 2210.2)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2029)
Sec. 10.2. Integrated pest management guidelines; notification; training of designated persons; request for copies.
(a) The Department shall prepare guidelines for an integrated pest
management program for structural pest control practices at school
buildings and other school facilities and day care centers. Such guidelines
shall be made
available to schools, day care centers and the public upon request.
(b) When economically feasible, each school and day care center is
required to develop and implement an
integrated pest
management
program that incorporates the guidelines developed by the Department.
Each school and day care center must notify the Department, within one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly and every 5 years thereafter, on forms provided by the Department that the school or day care center has developed and is implementing an integrated pest management program. In
implementing an integrated pest management program, a school or day care
center must assign a
designated person to assume
responsibility for the oversight of pest management practices in that
school or day care center and for recordkeeping requirements.
(b-1) If adopting an
integrated pest management program is not economically feasible because such adoption would result
in an increase in the pest control costs of the school or day care center, the school or day care center
must provide, within one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly and every 5 years thereafter, written notification to the Department, on forms provided by the
Department, that the development and implementation of an integrated pest
management program is not economically feasible. The notification must include projected pest
control costs for the term of the pest control program and projected costs for implementing
an integrated pest management program for that same time period. (b-2) Each school or
day care center that provides written notification to the Department that the adoption of an integrated pest management program is not economically feasible pursuant to subsection (b-1) of this Section must have its designated person attend a training
course on integrated pest management within one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, and
every 5 years thereafter until an integrated pest management program is developed and implemented in
the school or day care center. The training course shall be approved by the Department in
accordance with the minimum standards established by the Department under this Act.
(b-3) Each school and day care center shall ensure that all parents, guardians, and employees are
notified at least once each school year that the notification requirements established by this Section
have been met. The school and day care center shall keep copies of all notifications required by
this Section and any written integrated pest management program plan developed in accordance with this
Section and make these copies available for public inspection at the school or day care center.
(c) The Structural Pest Control Advisory Council shall assist the
Department in developing the guidelines for integrated pest management
programs. In developing the guidelines, the Council shall consult with
individuals knowledgeable in the area of integrated pest management.
(d) The Department, with the assistance of the Cooperative Extension
Service and other relevant agencies, may prepare a training program for
school or day care center pest control specialists.
(e) The Department
may request copies of a school's or day care center's integrated pest
management program plan and notification required by this Act and offer assistance and training to
schools and day care centers on integrated pest management programs. (f) The requirements of this Section are subject to appropriation to the Department for the implementation of integrated pest management programs.
