(225 ILCS 55/71) (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2032) Sec. 71. Temporary authorization of practice by persons licensed in other jurisdictions. (a) A person licensed in another jurisdiction is authorized to render marriage and family therapy services in this State for up to 10 calendar days per year, consecutively or in aggregate, if the individual is licensed in good standing to practice marriage and family therapy independently in another state, province, or territory. Any portion of a calendar day in which the person provides services in this State shall be considered as one working day. A person practicing pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not establish a permanent office location in this State, nor prepare or publish letterhead, business cards, or similar publicity materials listing an Illinois address or Illinois-based phone number. Any time that the person devotes to providing testimony in court or in deposition as a marriage and family therapist shall not be counted as part of the 10 calendar days allowed under this subsection (a). (b) The Secretary may temporarily authorize an individual to practice marriage and family therapy if the individual: (1) holds an active, unencumbered license in good standing in another jurisdiction; and (2) has applied for a license under this Act due to a natural disaster or catastrophic event in the jurisdiction in which the individual is licensed. The temporary authorization granted under this subsection (b) shall expire upon the issuance of a license under this Act to the individual or upon notification to the individual that licensure has been denied by the Department. (c) Any marriage and family therapist practicing pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall be subject to and shall conform the marriage and family therapist's practice to the requirements of the prohibitions and sanctions under this Act, the provisions on hearings and investigations under this Act, and any rules adopted under this Act while the marriage and family therapist is practicing in this State.
