Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026)
Sec. 3C-7. Examinations; failure or refusal to take examination. The
Department shall authorize examinations of applicants for licenses as nail
technicians and teachers of nail
technology at the times and places as it may determine. An applicant for licensure as a nail technician who has completed 280 hours in the study of nail technology may take the examination.
The Department shall authorize not less than 4 examinations for
licenses as nail
technicians, and nail technology teachers in a calendar
year.
If an applicant neglects, fails without an approved excuse, or refuses to
take the next available examination offered for licensure
under this Act,
the fee paid by the applicant shall be forfeited to the Department and the
application denied. If an applicant fails to pass an examination for
licensure under this Act within 3 years after filing an
application,
the application shall be denied. Nevertheless, the applicant may thereafter
make a new application for examination, accompanied by the required fee,
if he or she meets the requirements in effect at the time of reapplication.
If an applicant for licensure as a nail
technician or nail technology teacher is
unsuccessful at 3 examinations conducted by the Department, the
applicant
shall, before taking a subsequent examination, furnish evidence of
successfully completing (i) for a nail technician, not less than 60 hours
of additional study of nail
technology in a licensed school of cosmetology approved
to
teach nail technology or nail
technology and (ii) for a nail technology teacher, not less than 80 hours of
additional study in teaching methodology and educational psychology in an
approved school of cosmetology or nail technology since
the applicant last took the examination.
An applicant who fails the fourth examination shall not
again be admitted to an examination unless: (i) in the case of an
applicant for a license as a nail technician, the applicant again takes
and completes a total of 350 hours in the study of nail technology in an
approved school of cosmetology or nail technology extending over a
period that commences after the applicant fails to pass the fourth examination
and that is not less than 8 weeks nor more than 2 consecutive years in
duration; or (ii) in the case of an applicant for licensure as a nail
technology teacher, the applicant again takes and completes a program of 625
hours of teacher training in a licensed school of cosmetology, or nail
technology, except that if the applicant had 2 years of practical experience as
a licensed nail technician within 5 years preceding the initial examination
taken by the applicant, the applicant must again take and complete a program
of 500
hours of teacher training in a licensed school of cosmetology approved to teach
nail technology, or a licensed school of nail technology.
Each applicant for licensure as a nail technician shall
be given a written examination
testing both theoretical and practical knowledge, which shall include, but
not be limited to, questions that determine the applicant's knowledge of
product chemistry, sanitary rules, sanitary procedures,
hazardous chemicals and exposure minimization, this
Act, and labor and compensation laws.
The examination for licensure as a nail technology teacher may
include knowledge of the subject matter, teaching methodology, classroom
management, record keeping, and any other subjects that the Department in its
discretion may deem necessary to insure competent performance.
This Act does not prohibit the practice of nail technology by a person
who has applied in writing to the Department, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Department, for a license as a nail
technician, or the teaching of nail technology by one who has applied in
writing to the Department, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Department, for a license as a nail technology teacher, if the person has
complied with all the provisions of this Act in order
to qualify for a license, except the passing of an
examination to be eligible to receive a license, until: (a)
the expiration of 6 months after the filing of the written application, or (b)
the decision of the Department that the applicant has failed to pass an
examination within 6 months or failed without an approved excuse to take an
examination conducted within 6 months by the Department, or (c) the
withdrawal of the application.

225 ILCS 410/3C-8
(225 ILCS 410/3C-8) (from Ch. 111, par. 1703C-8)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026)
Sec. 3C-8. License renewal; expiration; continuing education;
persons in military service. The holder of a license
issued under this Article may renew that license during the
month preceding the expiration date of the license by
paying the required fee and giving evidence, as the Department may prescribe,
of completing not
less than 10 hours of continuing education for a nail technician
and 20 hours of continuing education for a nail technology teacher, within
the 2 years prior
to renewal. The continuing education shall be in subjects approved by the
Department upon recommendation of the Barber, Cosmetology, Esthetics, Hair Braiding, and
Nail Technology Board relating to the practice of nail technology,
including, but not limited to, review of sanitary procedures, review of
chemical service procedures, review of this Act, and review of the Workers'
Compensation Act. However, at least 10 of the hours of continuing education
required for a nail technology teacher
shall be in subjects relating to
teaching methodology, educational psychology, and classroom management or in
other subjects related to teaching. For the initial renewal of a nail technician's license which requires continuing education, as prescribed by rule, one hour of the continuing education shall include domestic violence and sexual assault awareness education as prescribed by rule of the Department. For every subsequent renewal of a nail technician's license, one hour of the continuing education may include domestic violence and sexual assault awareness education as prescribed by rule of the Department. The one-hour domestic violence and sexual assault awareness continuing education course shall be provided by a continuing education provider approved by the Department, except that completion from March 12, 2016 to March 15, 2016 of a one-hour domestic violence and sexual assault awareness course from a domestic violence and sexual assault awareness organization shall satisfy this requirement.
The Department may prescribe rules regarding the requirements for domestic violence and sexual assault awareness continuing education courses and teachers. The Department, in its discretion, may waive enforcement of the continuing
education requirement in this Section, including the domestic violence and sexual assault awareness education requirement, and shall adopt rules defining the
standards and criteria for such waiver, under the following circumstances:
(a) the licensee resides in a locality where it is | | demonstrated that the absence of opportunities for such education would interfere with the ability of the licensee to provide service to the public;
|
|
(b) the licensee's compliance with the continuing
| | education requirements would cause a substantial financial hardship on the licensee;
|
|
(c) the licensee is serving in the United States
| |
(d) the licensee is incapacitated due to illness.
