(225 ILCS 90/15) (from Ch. 111, par. 4265)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026)
Sec. 15. Restoration of expired licenses. A physical therapist or
physical therapist assistant who has permitted his or her license to expire
or who has
had his or her license on inactive status may have his or her license
restored by making
application to the Department and filing proof acceptable to the Department
of his or her fitness to have his or her license restored, including
sworn evidence
certifying to active practice in another jurisdiction satisfactory to the
Department and by paying the required restoration fee.
If the physical therapist or physical therapist assistant has not
maintained an active practice in another jurisdiction satisfactory to the
Department, the Board shall determine, by an evaluation program
established by rule his or her fitness to resume active status and may
require the physical therapist or physical therapist assistant to complete
a period of evaluated clinical experience and may require successful
completion of an examination.
Any physical therapist or physical therapist assistant whose license
has been expired or placed on inactive status for more than 5 years may have his or her license restored by making
application
to the Department and filing proof acceptable to the Department of his or
her
fitness to have his or her license restored, including sworn evidence
certifying
to active practice in another jurisdiction and by paying the required
restoration fee.
However, any physical therapist or physical therapist assistant whose
license has expired while he has been engaged (1) in the federal service in
active duty with the Army of the United States, the United States Navy, the
Marine Corps, the Air Force, the Coast Guard, or the State Militia called
into the service or training of the United States of America, or (2) in
training or education under the supervision of the United States
preliminary to induction into the military service, may have his license
restored without paying any lapsed renewal fees or restoration fee, if
within 2 years after termination of such service, training or education,
other than by dishonorable discharge, he furnishes the Department with an
affidavit to the effect that he has been so engaged and
that his service, training or education has been so terminated.
