A municipality within its corporate limits and a county within unincorporated areas within its boundaries may inspect, license or regulate any amusement ride or amusement attraction operated at a carnival, amusement enterprise, or fair, provided that any safety standards or regulations implemented by a municipality or county in connection therewith shall be at least as stringent as those provided for in this Act and the rules and regulations adopted hereunder. An owner or operator may use a report of such municipal or county inspection to support a request for a waiver of Department inspection under Section 2-18. Any municipality or county which inspects, licenses, or otherwise regulates amusement rides or amusement attractions may impose reasonable fees to cover the costs thereof.
