Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

|
(G) That applications for licenses by endorsement

among other things: the extent to which the applicant will bring unique experience and skills to the State of Illinois or the extent to which there is or is not
available to the Department authentic and definitive
information concerning the quality of medical education and
clinical training which the applicant has had. Under no
circumstances shall a license be issued under the provisions
of this Section to any person who has previously taken and
failed the written examination conducted by the Department
for such license. In the exercise of its discretion under this Section, the Department may require an applicant to successfully complete an examination as recommended by the Medical Board. The Department may
also request the applicant to submit, and may consider as
evidence of moral character, evidence from 2 or 3
individuals licensed under this Act.
Applicants have 3 years from the date of application to complete the
application process. If the process has not been completed within 3 years, the
application shall be denied, the fees shall be forfeited, and the applicant
must reapply and meet the requirements in effect at the time of
reapplication.
