SB3385 Enrolled LRB096 17964 ASK 33333 b

    AN ACT concerning professional regulation.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Community Association Manager Licensing and
Disciplinary Act is amended by changing Section 40 as follows:
 
    (225 ILCS 427/40)
    (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a
delayed effective date)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2020)
    Sec. 40. Qualifications for licensure as a community
association manager.
    (a) No person shall be qualified for licensure under this
Act, unless he or she has applied in writing on the prescribed
forms and has paid the required, nonrefundable fees and meets
all of the following qualifications:
        (1) He or she is at least 21 years of age.
        (2) He or she provides satisfactory evidence of having
    completed at least 20 classroom hours in community
    association management courses approved by the Board.
        (3) He or she has passed an examination authorized by
    the Department.
        (4) He or she has not committed an act or acts, in this
    or any other jurisdiction, that would be a violation of
    this Act.
        (5) He or she is of good moral character. In
    determining Good moral character under this Section, the
    Department may take into consideration whether the
    applicant has engaged in conduct or activities that would
    constitute grounds for discipline under this Act. Good
    moral character is a continuing requirement of licensure.
    Conviction of crimes other than felonies may be used in
    determining moral character, but shall not constitute an
    absolute bar to licensure.
        (6) He or she has not been declared by any court of
    competent jurisdiction to be incompetent by reason of
    mental or physical defect or disease, unless a court has
    subsequently declared him or her to be competent.
        (7) He or she complies with any additional
    qualifications for licensure as determined by rule of the
    Department.
    (b) The education requirement set forth in item (2) of
subsection (a) of this Section shall not apply to persons
holding a real estate broker or real estate salesperson license
in good standing issued under the Real Estate License Act of
2000.
    (c) The examination and initial education requirement of
items (2) and (3) of subsection (a) of this Section shall not
apply to any person who within 6 months from the effective date
of the requirement for licensure, as set forth in Section 170
of this Act, applies for a license by providing satisfactory
evidence to the Department of qualifying experience or
education, as may be set forth by rule, including without
limitation evidence that he or she has (i) practiced community
association management for a period of 5 years or (ii) achieved
a designation awarded by recognized community association
management organizations in the State.
    (d) Applicants have 3 years from the date of application to
complete the application process. If the process has not been
completed within the 3 years, the application shall be denied,
the fee shall be forfeited, and the applicant must reapply and
meet the requirements in effect at the time of re-application.
