MINOR
This bill extends the sunset date for two specific Illinois regulations - the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Repairer Regulation Act and the Petroleum Equipment Contractors Licensing Act - from January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2032. This change ensures these licensing requirements remain in effect for five additional years, preventing their automatic repeal and maintaining regulatory oversight for these industries.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on extending the validity of existing regulations; no new laws, definitions, or eligibility criteria were added or removed.
TIMELINE
The repeal date for the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Repairer Regulation Act and the Petroleum Equipment Contractors Licensing Act was changed from January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2032.
