Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Department may take disciplinary action against a
				  plumbing inspector for violations of the Act, this Part or the Illinois
				  Plumbing Code. Pursuant to Section 20 of the Act, such action may include
				  revocation, suspension, or denial of a plumbing license or plumbing inspector's
				  certificate issued by the Department; and under Section 5(b.10) of the Act may
				  include an Order of Correction to a telecommunications carrier for improper
				  advertising. A violation, for the purposes of this Section, shall be considered
				  to mean a finding of violation of a Section of the Act, or this Part, or the
				  Illinois Plumbing Code by the Director in a final order issued pursuant to the
				  Act and shall include the following acts:
a) a plumbing inspector presenting, as his or
				her own, the license of another person;
b) submitting false information or
				misrepresenting facts to the Department for the purpose of obtaining
				certification or renewal of certification as a plumbing inspector;
c) using or attempting to use a certificate
				that has been suspended or revoked;
d) operating a business organization
				advertising itself as a certified plumbing inspection business after the
				termination of its only certified plumbing inspector without another member of
				the business organization obtaining certification from the
				Department;
e) commencing or
				performing certified plumbing inspections for which a permit is required
				pursuant to the Illinois Plumbing Code without the permit being in
				effect;
f) willfully violating any
				State law or rule, or any municipal or county ordinance, relating to
				uncertified or certified plumbing inspections or committing any other form of
				misconduct;
g) being convicted or
				found guilty of, or entering a plea of nolo contendere to, regardless of
				adjudication, a crime in any jurisdiction that directly relates to the practice
				of plumbing;
h) violating any
				provision of the Act, this Part, the Illinois Plumbing Code, or any county or
				municipal plumbing ordinances or failing to follow any directive or order of
				the Department;
i) performing any
				act that assists a person or entity in engaging in the prohibited uncertified
				practice of inspecting plumbing, if the certified plumbing inspector knows or
				has reasonable grounds to know that the person or entity is uncertified;
				or
j) knowingly assisting or
				conspiring with an uncertified person by allowing one's plumbing inspector's
				certificate to be used by the uncertified person with intent to violate the
				requirements of Section
				750.710.
				When a certified plumbing inspector allows his or her certificate to be used by
				one or more business organizations without participating in the operations,
				management, or control of such business organizations, such act constitutes
				prima facie evidence of an intent to evade the requirements of this
				Section.
