(225 ILCS 50/20) (from Ch. 111, par. 7420)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026)
Sec. 20. Inactive status. A hearing instrument
dispenser who notifies the Department, on
the prescribed forms, may place his or her license on
inactive status and
shall be exempt from payment of renewal fees until he or she notifies the
Department in writing, of the intention to resume the
practice of testing, fitting, dispensing, selecting, recommending, and
servicing hearing aids and pays the current renewal fee
and demonstrates compliance with any continuing education that may be required.
However, if such period of inactive status is more than 2 years, the
hearing instrument dispenser shall also provide the Department with
sworn evidence certifying to active practice in another jurisdiction that is
satisfactory to the Department. If such person has not practiced in any
jurisdiction for 2 years or more, he or she shall be required to
restore his or her license by retaking and passing the examinations required
in Section 8. Any hearing instrument
dispenser whose license is on inactive status shall
not practice in Illinois.
