Section 1000.145  Request for Investigation

a)         Any person may make a request for an investigation into an alleged violation of the Act by giving notice to OSFM or the Local Administrator of the violation or danger. The notice shall be in writing, shall set forth with reasonable particularity the grounds for the notice, and shall be signed by the person making the request. Upon the request of any person signing the notice, the person's name shall not appear on any copy of the notice or any record published, released or made available.

b)         If the request is to the Local Administrator and the Local Administrator determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the violation or danger exists, the Local Administrator shall forward the request for an investigation to OSFM.

c)         OSFM, upon receipt of a notification under this Section, shall review the complaint.  If OSFM determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the violation or danger exists, OSFM shall cause to be conducted or shall permit the Local Administrator to conduct an investigation as soon as practicable to determine if the violation or danger exists. If OSFM determines that there are no reasonable grounds to believe that a violation or danger exists, it shall notify the party in writing of that determination. [225 ILCS 312/105(b) and (c)]
