PLUMBING LIC-PERMITS

Amends the Illinois Plumbing License Law. Provides that, in any municipality in a county with a population over 500,000, a letter of intent shall be included with all plumbing permit applications and that the letter shall be written on the licensed plumber of record's personal stationary and shall include the license holder's signature and corporate seal. Preempts home rule.

Provides that a city, village, or county that requires a permit for the installation and repair of plumbing may issue that permit upon verification that the applicant is the owner occupant of a single family residence that is the subject of the permit. Makes changes concerning the amount of general liability and workers compensation insurance coverage that a contractor must carry. Effective immediately.
