The corporate authorities of each municipality may require that an “arborist or tree expert”, as defined in this Section, be registered by the municipality to do business within that municipality. As used in this Section, “arborist or tree expert” means any person who, for profit, diagnoses the condition of shade or ornamental trees and shrubs and recommends or supervises the treatment of any such trees, or in any manner treats any such trees, by feeding or fertilizing, or by pruning, trimming, bracing, treating cavities or other methods. However no municipality may charge a fee for such registration. Any person acting within the scope of his or her employment with any public utility shall be exempt from such registration. Any municipality which requires such registration may exempt from such registration any person acting within the scope of his or her employment with the municipality.
