Are Certificates with expiration dates stating “By Revocation” still valid?
No, these FSSMC issued between 1974 and 1983, were revoked in 1989 by the Illinois Department of Public Health and the State Code was changed requiring that all certificates be renewed every five years. At the time of revocation, persons holding a “By Revocation” Certificate were given a five year grace period (1994) to obtain a new certificate after payment of a $35 fee. If a Manager has a “By Revocation” Certificate they must attend an approved 15 hour Certification Course, pass the exam and pay the $35 fee to obtain a new Certificate (Section 750.551 IDPH Food sanitation Code).
