    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Podiatric Medical Practice Act of 1987 is
amended by changing Section 12 as follows:
 
    (225 ILCS 100/12)  (from Ch. 111, par. 4812)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2018)
    Sec. 12. Temporary license; qualifications and terms.
    (A) Podiatric physicians otherwise qualified for
licensure, with the exception of completion of their one year
of postgraduate training and the exception of the successful
completion of the written practical examination required under
Section 10, may be granted a 3-year one year temporary license
to practice podiatric medicine provided that the applicant can
demonstrate that he or she has been accepted and is enrolled in
a recognized postgraduate training program during the period
for which the temporary license is sought. Such temporary
licenses shall be valid for the duration of the program, not to
exceed 3 years, provided that the applicant continues in the
approved program and is in good standing at one year from the
date of issuance for the practice site issued and may be
renewed once. In addition, an applicant may request a one-year
extension pursuant to the rules of the Department. Such
applicants shall apply in writing on those forms prescribed by
the Department and shall submit with the application the
required application fee. Other examination fees that may be
required under Section 8 must also be paid by temporary
licensees.
    (B) Application for visiting professor permits shall be
made to the Department in writing on forms prescribed by the
Department and be accompanied by the required fee. Requirements
for a visiting professor permit issued under this Section shall
be determined by the Department by rule. Visiting professor
permits shall be valid for one year from the date of issuance
or until such time as the faculty appointment is terminated,
whichever occurs first, and may be renewed once.
