Background
The Tattoo and Body Piercing Registration Act went into effect on July 1, 2007. The Health Department has been inspecting Oak Park tattoo and piercing businesses under a signed grant agreement with the Illinois Department of Public Health since the inception of the inspection program on November 9, 2009.
Oak Park tattoo/piercing businesses are required to pay an annual fee to the Illinois Department of Public Health. The collected annual fees are then placed in the Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishment Registration Fund where a portion of the fees are then reimbursed to local state certified health departments for completing annual renewal inspections per the provisions of a signed grant agreement. As of August 25, 2016 there are seven (7) tattoo/piercing businesses licensed within the Village of Oak Park. Under this grant agreement the Village would receive $3,113.00 for completing seven (7) annual renewal inspections. Staff are recommending the Village Board approve this motion.
