Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.
420 ILCS 40/7a (420 ILCS 40/7a) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 210-7a)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 7a. Certification of industrial radiographers.
(a) Beginning January 1, 1993, no person may perform industrial
radiography unless he or she is certified by the Department of Nuclear Safety
or its successor, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, to perform
industrial radiography. The Agency shall promulgate
regulations
establishing standards and procedures for certification of industrial
radiographers. The regulations may include, without limitation, provisions
specifying a minimum course of study and requiring that individuals seeking
certification pass an examination administered or approved by the
Agency. Industrial radiography certification shall be valid
for 5
years, except that certifications for industrial radiography trainees
shall be valid for 2 years or shall be extended pursuant to subsection (e). The Agency shall establish by
regulation
standards and procedures for renewal of certification. The regulations shall
provide that certification for industrial radiography trainees shall be
nonrenewable.
(b) The regulations of the Department of Nuclear Safety,
as the predecessor agency of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency,
shall provide for provisional
certification of persons who performed industrial radiography before
January 1, 1993. In order to obtain provisional certification, the industrial
radiographer must apply to the Department no later than January 1, 1993.
Provisional certification shall be valid for 2 years, except for those certifications extended pursuant to subsection (e), provided that a
person who has obtained a provisional certification must take an
examination that is administered or approved by the Department within 12
months of the date on which the provisional certification was issued. Upon
passing the examination, the Department shall certify the individual as an
industrial radiographer. Provisional certification shall be nonrenewable.
(c) The Agency may, by regulation, assess certification
fees and
fees to recover the cost of examining applicants for certification.
(d) The Agency may suspend or revoke the certification of
an
industrial radiographer, or take other action as provided in Sections 36
and 38 of this Act, if a certified industrial radiographer violates this
Act or any rule or regulation promulgated under this Act, or otherwise
endangers the safety of himself, his co-workers, or members of the general
public. It shall be a violation of this Act for any person to allow an
individual who is not a certified industrial radiographer to perform
industrial radiography.
(e) The Agency may extend the term of existing certifications for industrial radiographers and industrial radiographer trainees in 90-day increments, not to exceed a maximum period of 6 months beyond the initial term, to allow individuals time to meet the examination criteria. Industrial radiographers and industrial radiographer trainees shall meet all other requirements as set forth by the Agency. (Source: P.A. 103-1, eff. 4-27-23.)
