AN ACT concerning health.
2     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4     Section 5. The Mold Remediation Registration Act is
5 amended by changing Sections 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 and by
6 adding Section 16 as follows:
7     (410 ILCS 105/5)
8     Sec. 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that:
9         (1) Excessive indoor dampness in buildings is a
10     widespread problem that warrants action at the local,
11     State, and national levels.
12         (2) Because of the public's concern about the possible
13     public health effects of exposure to mold in buildings, as
14     well as the effects on workers performing remediation
15     work, and the costs of remediation for the property owner,
16     there is a need to identify parties performing mold
17     remediation in the State.
18         (3) Because there is a need to reduce moisture that
19     fosters mold formation in buildings, the State should
20     review current State building codes to ensure that they do
21     not foster mold.
22         (4) Parties providing mold remediation services in
23     residential, public, and commercial buildings in Illinois
SB1087 Enrolled - 2 - LRB103 05522 CPF 50541 b
1     should be required to register with the State and provide
2     proof of financial responsibility.
3         (5) Laboratories performing tests to confirm mold
4     contamination in buildings should be certified by the
5     American Industrial Hygiene Association using nationally
6     recognized accreditation standards set under the
7     Environmental Microbiology Laboratory Accreditation
8     Program.
9         (6) It is imperative that the citizens of Illinois are
10     aware of the dangers of mold and the need for proper
11     assessment and remediation of indoor environments affected
12     by mold.

16 that establish:
