| 4 | | "Section 5. The Medical Practice Act of 1987 is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 9 as follows:
| 6 | | (225 ILCS 60/9) (from Ch. 111, par. 4400-9)

|
| 1 | | engaged in conduct
or activities which would | 2 | | constitute grounds for discipline
under this Act. The | 3 | | Department may also request the
applicant to submit, | 4 | | and may consider as evidence of moral
character, | 5 | | endorsements from 2 or 3 individuals licensed
under | 6 | | this Act;

| 9 | | (3) (blank); and
| 10 | | (4) is physically, mentally, and professionally | 11 | | capable
of practicing medicine with reasonable | 12 | | judgment, skill, and
safety. In determining physical, | 13 | | mental and professional
capacity under this Section, | 14 | | the Licensing Board
may, upon a showing of a possible | 15 | | incapacity or conduct or activities that would | 16 | | constitute grounds for discipline under this Act, | 17 | | compel any
applicant to submit to a mental or physical | 18 | | examination and evaluation, or
both, as provided for in | 19 | | Section 22 of this Act. The Licensing Board may | 20 | | condition or restrict any
license, subject to the same | 21 | | terms and conditions as are
provided for the | 22 | | Disciplinary Board under Section 22
of this Act. Any | 23 | | such condition of a restricted license
shall provide | 24 | | that the Chief Medical Coordinator or Deputy
Medical | 25 | | Coordinator shall have the authority to review the
| 26 | | subject physician's compliance with such conditions or

record of treatment and counseling | 3 | | regarding the impairment,
to the extent permitted by | 4 | | applicable federal statutes and
regulations | 5 | | safeguarding the confidentiality of medical
records of | 6 | | patients.
| 7 | | In determining professional capacity under this
| 8 | | Section, an individual may be required to
complete such | 9 | | additional testing, training, or remedial
education as the | 10 | | Licensing Board may deem necessary in order
to establish | 11 | | the applicant's present capacity to practice
medicine with | 12 | | reasonable judgment, skill, and safety. The Licensing | 13 | | Board may consider the following criteria, as they relate | 14 | | to an applicant, as part of its determination of | 15 | | professional capacity:
