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.
(430 ILCS 75/8) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 3209)
Sec. 8. Special Inspectors.
(a) The
Office of the State Fire Marshal shall, upon the request of
any company authorized to write boiler and pressure vessel insurance
in this State or authorized under Section 15 of this Act, issue to inspectors of the company
commissions as Special Inspectors, provided that each inspector
before receiving his commission shall meet the experience requirements of
the Board and shall:
(1) satisfactorily pass the examination provided for |
| in Section 9 of this Act; or
|
|
(2) in lieu of that examination, hold a Certificate
|
| of Competency as an inspector of boilers or pressure vessels for a jurisdiction that has a standard of examination substantially equal to that of the State of Illinois; or
|
|
(3) hold a Commission as an inspector of boilers and
|
| pressure vessels from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors.
|
|
(b) Special Inspectors shall receive no salary from, nor shall
any of their expenses be paid by, the State. The continuance of a
Special Inspector's Commission shall be conditioned upon his continuing
in the employ of the duly authorized insurance company or
owner-user and upon maintenance of the standards
imposed by this Act.
(c) Special Inspectors shall inspect boilers and pressure
vessels insured or operated by their respective companies.
The Board may impose limitations on owner-user inspectors who have
received their commissions based on the American Petroleum Institute API-510
Inspectors Examination. When
so inspected, the owners and users of insured or self-insured
boilers and pressure
vessels shall be exempt from the payment to the State of the inspection
fees provided for in Section 13 of this Act.
(d) Within 10 business days following each boiler or pressure vessel certificate inspection,
except the inspection of pressure vessels covered by subsection (c)
of Section 11 of this Act, made by
a Special Inspector, the company employing the
inspector shall file a report of the inspection with the Chief
Inspector either electronically or upon the appropriate forms. Reports of non-certificate external inspections need
not be submitted except when those
inspections disclose that the boiler or
pressure vessel is in an unsafe condition or in
violation of the rules and regulations of the Board.
(e) The State Fire Marshal, the Chief
Inspector, or any Deputy or Special Inspector, shall have free access to any
premises in the State to perform
inspections and investigations in accordance with the
provisions of this Act.
