(225 ILCS 30/40) (from Ch. 111, par. 8401-40)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 40. Examinations. The Department shall authorize examinations of
applicants for a license under this Act at the times and places
that it may determine. The examination of applicants shall be of a
character to give a fair test of the qualifications of the applicant to
practice dietetics and nutrition services. The Department or its
designated testing service shall provide initial screening to determine
eligibility of applicants for examination.
Applicants for examination shall be
required to pay, either to the Department or the designated testing
service, a fee covering the cost of providing the examination. Failure to
appear for the examination on the scheduled date, at the time and place
specified, after the applicant's application for examination has been
received and acknowledged by the Department or the designated
testing service, shall result in the forfeiture of the examination fee.
Whenever the Secretary is not satisfied that substantial justice has been done in an examination, the Secretary may order a reexamination. If an applicant neglects, fails, or refuses to take an examination or
fails to pass an examination for a license under this Act within 3 years
after filing an application, the application shall be denied. However, the
applicant may thereafter make a new application accompanied by the required
fee and shall meet the requirements for licensure in force at the time of
making the new application.
The Department may employ consultants for the purpose of preparing and
conducting examinations.
