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.

Sec. 11. Application of Act.

(1) Nothing in this Act limits the power of a municipality, city,
 county, or incorporated area to regulate the quality and character of work performed by roofing
contractors through a system of permits, fees, and inspections which are
designed to secure compliance with and aid in the implementation of State
and local building laws or to enforce other local laws for the protection
of the public health and safety.

(2) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require a seller of
roofing materials or services to be licensed as a roofing
contractor when
the construction, reconstruction, alteration, maintenance or repair of
roofing or waterproofing is to be performed by a person other than the
seller or the seller's employees.

(3) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require a person who
performs roofing or waterproofing work to his or her own property, or for
no
consideration, to be licensed as a roofing contractor.

(3.5) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require an employee who performs roofing or waterproofing work to his or her employer's residential property, where there exists an employee-employer relationship or for no consideration, to be licensed as a roofing contractor.

(4) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require a person who
performs roof repair or waterproofing work to his or her employer's commercial or industrial property to
be
licensed as a roofing contractor, where there exists an
employer-employee
relationship.  Nothing in this Act shall be construed to apply to the
installation of plastics, glass or fiberglass to greenhouses and related
horticultural structures, or to the repair or construction of farm buildings.

(5) Nothing in this Act limits the power of a municipality, city, county, or incorporated area
to collect occupational license and inspection fees for engaging in roofing
contracting.

(6) Nothing in this Act limits the power of the municipalities, cities,
 counties, or incorporated areas to adopt any system of permits requiring submission to and approval
by the municipality, city, county, or incorporated area of plans and specifications for work
to be performed by roofing contractors before commencement of the work.

(7) Any official authorized to issue building or other related permits
shall ascertain that the applicant contractor is duly licensed before issuing
the permit.  The evidence shall consist only of the exhibition to him or
her of
current evidence of licensure.

(8) This Act applies to any roofing contractor performing work for the
State or any municipality, city, county, or incorporated area.  Officers of the State or any municipality, city, county
or incorporated area are required to determine compliance with this Act before
awarding any contracts for construction, improvement, remodeling, or repair.

(9) If an incomplete contract exists at the time of death of a licensee,
the contract may be completed by any person even though not licensed.
Such person shall notify the Department within 30 days after the death of
the contractor of his or her name and address.  For the purposes of this
subsection,
an incomplete contract is one which has been awarded to, or entered into
by, the licensee before his or her death or on which he or she was
the low
bidder and
the contract is subsequently awarded to him or her regardless of whether
any actual
work has commenced under the contract before his or her death.

(10) The State or any municipality, city, county, or incorporated area may require that bids submitted
for roofing construction, improvement, remodeling, or repair of public
buildings
be accompanied by evidence that that bidder holds an appropriate license
issued pursuant to this Act.

(11) (Blank).

(12) Nothing in this Act shall prevent a municipality, city, county, or incorporated area from making laws or ordinances that are more stringent than those contained in this Act.
