(510 ILCS 30/15a) (from Ch. 8, par. 147a)
Sec. 15a.
No person, firm or corporation shall operate a laboratory in this State
for the purpose of conducting tests for bovine brucellosis for others, nor
shall any person, firm or corporation conduct such tests for others,
without first securing a permit from the Department. The application for
such permit shall be on a form prescribed by the Department and shall set
forth the name of the applicant and if a corporation, the name of its
principal officers, the location where such laboratory will be operated or
such tests conducted and the records thereof kept, a brief description of
the training and experience of the applicant or the person in charge of
conducting such tests and such additional information as will enable the
Department to determine the responsibility of the applicant and the
qualifications and ability of such applicant to conduct tests. If the
Department finds that the applicant is responsible and appears to be
qualified to conduct such tests, it shall issue a permit. Such permits
shall be in effect from the date issued until revoked by the Department.
Every person receiving a permit to operate such a laboratory or to
conduct such tests shall keep a record of all tests, including the name and
address of the person for whom the tests were conducted, and shall report
to the Department the results of all tests. Such reports shall be made each
week on forms to be prescribed by the Department.
If the Department finds that any applicant for a permit is not
responsible or is not qualified to conduct such tests, it may refuse a
permit. If the Department finds that any person, firm or corporation
holding a permit is no longer responsible or qualified to conduct such
tests or is not correctly reporting the results of tests conducted or if
the holder of any such permit shall fail to report to the Department the
results of the tests conducted as herein required, the Department may
revoke such permit.
