Synopsis As Introduced
In the Regulatory Sunset Act, changes the repeal date for the Illinois Architecture Practice Act of 1989 from January 1, 2010 to January 1, 2020. Amends the Illinois Architecture Practice Act of 1989. Removes the provision concerning the invalidity of a building permit issued with respect to technical submissions that do not conform to the requirements of the Act. Provides that it is unlawful to affix one's seal to technical submissions if it masks the true identity of the person who actually exercised responsible control of the preparation of such work (rather than prohibiting a person from deviating from the technical submissions without the prior approval of the licensed architect for a project). Makes changes to provisions concerning the powers and duties of the Department and the Board. Removes a provision creating a complaint committee. Provides that the Department is not required to issue any certificate, credential, or other official document indicating a person has been granted the title "Architect, Retired". Makes changes to provisions concerning disciplinary grounds and investigations. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Moves a provision concerning the filing or approval of technical submissions to another Section. Provides that no officer, board, commission, or other public entity who receives technical submissions shall accept for filing or approval any technical submissions relating to services requiring the involvement of an architect that do not bear the seal and signature of an architect licensed under this Act (now, "No officer, board, commission, or other public entity charged with the enforcement of codes and ordinances requiring the involvement of an architect shall accept for filing or approval any technical submissions that do not bear the seal and signature of an architect licensed under this Act.").

Amends the Illinois Architecture Practice Act of 1989. Provides that references in the Act to "Director" and "Department of Professional Regulation" are deemed, in appropriate contexts, to be references to the Secretary of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

Provides that the Department shall deny a license or renewal to a person that has defaulted on an education loan or scholarship provided or guaranteed by the State. Provides that the Department shall refuse to issue or renew or shall revoke or suspend that person's license or shall take other disciplinary action against a licensee or a potential licensee previously determined by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to be more than 30 days delinquent in the payment of child support. Provides that the Department shall deny a license or renewal to a person that commits certain tax violations. Provides that the Department or Board, upon a showing of possible violation of the Act, may order a licensee or applicant to submit to a mental or physical examination, or both, at the expense of the Department.
