(65 ILCS 5/11 33 1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11 33 1)
Sec. 11 33 1. The corporate authorities of each municipality may require the registration of electrical contractors, and may impose an annual registration fee of $25 on each registered contractor. An electrical contractor who is registered in one municipality, however, shall not be required by any other municipality to be registered or to pay a registration fee in the other municipality.
I have used this successfully in two villages. One claimed no knowledge of this law and the other said, "Yes, we are aware of it and since you mentioned it we can't charge you."
I had one village tell me I can argue the fee but by the time the village makes it decision the job would have been completed a LONG time ago... In other words, just pay the fee.
