Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 30. Application.

(a) Applications for original licensure shall be made to the Department
in writing on forms or electronically as prescribed by the Department and shall be accompanied

application process. If the application has not been completed within 3 years,
the application shall be denied, the fee shall be forfeited, and the applicant
must reapply and meet the requirements in effect at the time of reapplication.

(c) A license shall not be denied to an applicant because of the applicant's

sex, sexual orientation, or physical disability that does not affect a person's ability to practice with reasonable judgment, skill, or safety.
