65 ILCS 5/11-42-14: Landscape waste.

The corporate authorities of a municipality may register certain persons in the landscape maintenance business or in the business of generating landscape waste as defined in the Environmental Protection Act. No municipality may, however, charge a fee for that registration.

A municipality that requires registration may exempt any person acting within the scope of his or her employment with the municipality.

A person acting within the scope of his or her employment with a public utility and a person who is an "applicator for hire" as defined in the Lawn Care Products Application and Notice Act are exempt from this Section.
