Sec. 11. Application of Act.
(1) Nothing in this Act limits the power of a municipality, city or county to regulate the quality and character of work performed by roofing contractors through a system of permits, fees, and inspections which are designed to secure compliance with and aid in the implementation of State and local building laws or to enforce other local laws for the protection of the public health and safety.
(2) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require a seller of roofing materials or services to be licensed as a roofing contractor when the construction, reconstruction, alteration, maintenance or repair of roofing or waterproofing is to be performed by a person other than the seller or the seller's employees.
(3) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require a person who performs roofing or waterproofing work to his or her own property, or for no consideration, to be licensed as a roofing contractor.
(4) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require a person who performs roofing or waterproofing work to his or her employer's property to be licensed as a roofing contractor, where there exists an employer-employee relationship. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to apply to the installation of plastics, glass or fiberglass to greenhouses and related horticultural structures, or to the repair or construction of farm buildings.
(5) Nothing in this Act limits the power of a municipality, city, or county to collect occupational license and inspection fees for engaging in roofing contracting.
(6) Nothing in this Act limits the power of the municipalities, cities or counties to adopt any system of permits requiring submission to and approval by the municipality, city, or county of plans and specifications for work to be performed by roofing contractors before commencement of the work.
(7) Any official authorized to issue building or other related permits shall ascertain that the applicant contractor is duly licensed before issuing the permit. The evidence shall consist only of the exhibition to him or her of current evidence of licensure.
(8) This Act applies to any roofing contractor performing work for the State or any county or municipality. Officers of the State or any county or municipality are required to determine compliance with this Act before awarding any contracts for construction, improvement, remodeling, or repair.
(9) If an incomplete contract exists at the time of death of a contractor, the contract may be completed by any person even though not licensed. Such person shall notify the Department within 30 days after the death of the contractor of his or her name and address. For the purposes of this subsection, an incomplete contract is one which has been awarded to, or entered into by, the contractor before his or her death or on which he or she was the low bidder and the contract is subsequently awarded to him or her regardless of whether any actual work has commenced under the contract before his or her death.
(10) The State or any county or municipality may require that bids submitted for roofing construction, improvement, remodeling, or repair of public buildings be accompanied by evidence that that bidder holds an appropriate license issued pursuant to this Act.
