(225 ILCS 312/60)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 60. Issuance and renewal of licenses; fees.
(a) Upon approval of an application, and receipt of the
fee, the Administrator may
issue a license that must be renewed every 2 years.
(b) (Blank).
(c) (Blank).
(d) The renewal of all licenses granted under the provisions of this Section
shall
be conditioned upon the submission of a certificate of completion of a course
designed to
ensure the continuing education of licensees on new and existing provisions of
the
rules of the Elevator Safety Review Board. Such course shall consist of
not less
than 8 hours of instruction, which shall include a minimum of 2 hours of code
updates, that shall be attended and completed within one
year
immediately preceding any such license renewal.
(e) The courses referred to in subsection (d) of this Section shall be
taught
by instructors
through
continuing education providers that may include, but shall not be limited to,
association
seminars and labor training programs. The Elevator Safety Review Board shall
approve
the continuing education providers. All instructors shall be approved by the
Board and
shall be exempt from the requirements of subsection (d) of this Section with
regard to their
applications
for license renewal, provided that such applicant was qualified as an
instructor
at any time
during the one year immediately preceding the scheduled date for such renewal.
(f) A licensee who is unable to complete the continuing education course
required
under this Section prior to the expiration of his or her license due to a
temporary
disability
may apply for a waiver from the Board. This shall be on a form provided by the
Board,
which shall be signed under the penalty of perjury and accompanied
by a
certified statement from a competent physician attesting to such temporary
disability.
Upon the termination of such temporary disability, the licensee shall submit to
the Board
a certified statement from the same physician, if practicable, attesting to the
termination
of the temporary disability, at which time a waiver sticker, valid for 90 days,
shall be
issued to the licensee and affixed to his or her license.
(g) Approved training providers shall keep for a period of 10 years uniform
records of attendance of licensees following a format approved by the Board.
These
records shall be available for inspection by the Board at its request. Approved
training
providers shall be responsible for the security of all attendance records and
certificates of
completion, provided that falsifying or knowingly allowing another to
falsify
attendance records or certificates of completion shall constitute grounds for
suspension or
revocation of the approval required under this Section.
