a) A licensed
			 elevator contractor or limited licensed elevator contractor shall obtain a
			 permit from OSFM or the Local Administrator prior to erecting, constructing,
			 installing, or materially altering any conveyances covered by the
			 Act.
b) All conveyance construction
			 or alteration documents shall be submitted to OSFM or the Local Administrator
			 for a permit. The document for a new or altered building must first have been
			 reviewed and approved by the local governmental authority as meeting the local
			 building and fire code. In those jurisdictions where the municipality or county
			 has not signed a local elevator agreement with OSFM and the municipality or
			 county does not have a means by which it approves building documents or issues
			 building permits, the conveyance construction or alteration documents shall be
			 submitted to OSFM along with the owner-supplied, sealed technical submissions
			 from a licensed architect or engineer. [225 ILCS
			 312/90(f) ]
c) The Local Administrator shall be required
			 to maintain the application and permit on file for a period of not less than 2
			 years from the date of issuance.
d)
			 Each application for a permit from OSFM shall be on a form provided by OSFM and
			 shall be accompanied by the permit fee established in subsection (i) and
			 accurately scaled and fully dimensioned plans and shall show the location of
			 the machinery room and the equipment to be installed, relocated, or altered,
			 and all structural supporting members thereof, including foundations. The
			 specifications shall include all materials to be employed and all loads to be
			 supported or conveyed. These plans and specifications shall be sufficiently
			 complete to illustrate all details of construction and design. [225
			 ILCS 312/90(c) ] The application
			 shall specify whether the permit is for a conveyance used for mobility-impaired
			 or non-mobility-impaired purposes. All permit applications shall be signed by
			 the Contractor License Designee.
e)
			 At the conclusion of the permitted activity, the licensed elevator contractor
			 or limited elevator contractor shall arrange for a licensed elevator inspector
			 to perform an acceptance inspection.
f) The licensed elevator contractor or
			 limited elevator contractor shall notify OSFM no less than 7 days prior to the
			 acceptance inspection being performed.
g) A permit to alter a conveyance may be
			 issued to an entity exempted from licensure under Section 40(a) of the Act.
			 [225 ILCS
			 312/90(a) ]
h) Revocation and Extension of Permit
1) Permits expire 12 months from the date
			 they are issued.
2) The licensed
			 contractor may request that OSFM or the Local Administrator grant an extension
			 of time for the permit. OSFM or the Local Administrator shall grant the
			 extension for an additional 12 months if the request is received by OSFM or the
			 Local Administrator prior to the expiration of the existing permit. Extension
			 requests received by OSFM or the Local Administrator after the expiration of
			 the existing permit shall be denied, requiring a new application that must be
			 accompanied by payment of the current fee.
