(225 ILCS 430/8) (from Ch. 111, par. 2409)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)

Sec. 8. Applications for original licenses shall be made to the Department in writing on forms prescribed by the Department and shall be accompanied by the required fee, which shall not be returnable. Any such application shall require such information as in the judgment of the Department will enable the Department to pass on the qualifications of the applicant for a license.

If an applicant neglects, fails without an approved excuse or refuses to take the next available examination for a license under this Act, the fee paid by the applicant shall be forfeited and the application denied. If an applicant fails to pass an examination for a license under this Act within 3 years after filing his or her application, the application shall be denied. However, such applicant may thereafter make a new application for examination, accompanied by the required fee.
