Section 855.640  Emergency

Stop Work Orders for Schools

Whenever the Department finds

that an emergency exists which requires action to protect the public health, it

may, without notice or hearing, issue an order reciting the existence of such

an emergency and then require that such action be taken as it may deem

necessary to meet the emergency, including but not limited to the issuance of a

stop work order and the immediate removal of a contractor or contractors from

the list provided for in Section 10 of the Asbestos Abatement Act

[105 ILCS

105/10].

Notwithstanding any other provision in that Act, such order shall

be effective immediately.  The State's Attorney and sheriff of the county in

which the school is located shall enforce the order after receiving notice

thereof.  Any contractor affected by such an order is entitled, upon request,

to a hearing as provided for in rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to

the Asbestos Abatement

Act.  When such conditions are abated, in the opinion

of the Department, the Department may authorize the reinstitution of the

activities and inclusion on the list of contractors of those activities and

contractors which were the subject of a stop work order.

the Asbestos Abatement Act)
