criteria.
| 11 | | (b-5) The endorsement process for individuals who are | 12 | | already licensed as medical or prescribing psychologists in | 13 | | another state is governed by Section 4.5 of this Act and not | 14 | | this Section. | 15 | | (c) Applicants have 3 years from the date of application to | 16 | | complete the
application process. If the process has not been | 17 | | completed in 3 years,
the application shall be denied, the fee | 18 | | shall be forfeited, and the

| 3 | | In enforcing this Section, the Department or Board upon a | 4 | | showing of a possible
violation may compel any person licensed | 5 | | to practice under this Act, or
who has applied for licensure or | 6 | | certification pursuant to this Act, to submit
to a mental or | 7 | | physical examination, or both, as required by and at the | 8 | | expense

psychologist to present | 12 | | testimony concerning this mental or physical
examination
of the | 13 | | licensee or applicant. No information shall be excluded by | 14 | | reason of
any common law or statutory privilege relating to | 15 | | communications between the
licensee or applicant and the | 16 | | examining physician or clinical psychologist.
The person to be | 17 | | examined may have, at his or her own expense, another
physician | 18 | | or clinical psychologist of his or her choice present during | 19 | | all
aspects of the examination. Failure of any person to submit | 20 | | to a mental or
physical examination, when directed, shall be | 21 | | grounds for suspension of a
license until the person submits to | 22 | | the examination if the Department or Board finds,
after notice | 23 | | and hearing, that the refusal to submit to the examination was
| 24 | | without reasonable cause.
| 25 | | If the Department or Board finds a person unable to | 26 | | practice because of the reasons
set forth in this Section, the |

reinstated, | 5 | | or
renewed licensure to practice; or, in lieu of care, | 6 | | counseling or treatment,
the
Board may recommend to the | 7 | | Department to file or the Department may file a complaint to | 8 | | immediately
suspend, revoke or otherwise discipline the | 9 | | license of the person.
Any person whose
license was granted, | 10 | | continued, reinstated, renewed, disciplined or supervised
| 11 | | subject to such terms, conditions or restrictions, and who | 12 | | fails to comply with
such terms, conditions or restrictions, | 13 | | shall be referred to the Secretary for a
determination as to | 14 | | whether the person shall have his or her license
suspended | 15 | | immediately, pending a hearing by the Board.
| 16 | | In instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a | 17 | | person's license
under this Section, a hearing on that person's | 18 | | license must be convened by
the Board within 15 days after the | 19 | | suspension and completed without appreciable
delay.
The Board | 20 | | shall have the authority to review the subject person's record | 21 | | of
