License renewal; restoration

(225 ILCS 15/13) (from Ch. 111, par. 5363)     (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2032)     Sec. 13. License renewal; restoration.     (a) The expiration date and renewal period for each license issued under this Act shall be set by rule. Every holder of a license under this Act may renew such license during the 90-day period immediately preceding the expiration date thereof upon payment of the required renewal fees and demonstrating compliance with any continuing education requirements. The Department shall adopt rules establishing minimum requirements of continuing education and means for verification of the completion of the continuing education requirements. The Department may, by rule, specify circumstances under which the continuing education requirements may be waived.     A clinical psychologist who has permitted the clinical psychologist's license to expire or who has had the clinical psychologist's license on inactive status may have the clinical psychologist's license restored by making application to the Department and filing proof acceptable to the Department, as defined by rule, of the clinical psychologist's fitness to have the clinical psychologist's license restored, including evidence certifying to active practice in another jurisdiction satisfactory to the Department and by paying the required restoration fee.     If the clinical psychologist has not maintained an active practice in another jurisdiction satisfactory to the Department, the Board shall determine, by an evaluation program established by rule, the clinical psychologist's fitness to resume active status and may require the clinical psychologist to complete a period of supervised professional experience and may require successful completion of an examination.     However, any clinical psychologist license that expires while the clinical psychologist was (1) in Federal Service on active duty with the Armed Forces of the United States, or the State Militia called into service or training, or (2) in training or education under the supervision of the United States preliminary to induction into the military service, may have the license renewed or restored without paying any lapsed renewal fees if within 2 years after honorable termination of such service, training or education the clinical psychologist furnishes the Department with satisfactory evidence to the effect that the clinical psychologist has been so engaged and that the clinical psychologist's service, training, or education has been so terminated.     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the following requirements for restoration of an inactive or expired license of less than 5 years as set forth in subsection (a) are suspended for any licensed clinical psychologist who has had no disciplinary action taken against the clinical psychologist's license in this State or in any other jurisdiction during the entire period of licensure: proof of fitness, certification of active practice in another jurisdiction, and the payment of a renewal fee. An individual may not restore the individual's license in accordance with this subsection more than once. (Source: P.A. 104-796, eff. 8-7-26.)
