(210 ILCS 125/4)
(from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1204) Sec. 4. License to operate. After May 1, 2002,
it shall be unlawful
for any person to open,
establish, maintain or operate a swimming facility within this
State without first obtaining a license therefor from the Department or, where applicable, from the ordinance health department.
Applications for
original licenses shall be made on forms furnished by the Department or, where applicable, by an ordinance health department. Each
application shall be signed by the applicant and
accompanied by an affidavit of the applicant as to the truth of the
application.
Each application shall contain: the name
and address of the applicant, or names and addresses of the partners if the
applicant is a partnership, or the name and addresses of the officers if
the applicant is a corporation or the names and addresses of all persons
having an interest therein if the applicant is a group of individuals,
association, or trust; and the location of the swimming facility. A
license shall be valid only in the possession of the person to whom it is
issued and shall not be the subject of sale, assignment, or other transfer,
voluntary, or involuntary, nor shall the license be valid for any premises
other than those for which originally issued. Upon receipt of an
application for an original license, the Department or, where applicable, the ordinance health department shall inspect such
swimming facility to insure compliance with this Act. In no case shall license fees be assessed by both the Department and the ordinance health department. (Source: P.A. 96-1081, eff. 7-16-10; 97-957, eff. 1-1-13.) Notes of Decisions
