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. 3-7.1.

Inactive Status.

Any cosmetologist, cosmetology
teacher, or cosmetology clinic teacher who notifies the
Department in writing on forms prescribed by the Department, may elect to
place his or her license on an inactive status and shall, subject to rules
of the Department, be excused from payment of renewal fees until he or she
notifies the Department in writing of his or her desire to resume active
status.

Any cosmetologist, cosmetology teacher, or cosmetology clinic
teacher requesting restoration from
inactive status shall be required to pay the current renewal fee and to qualify
for the restoration of
his or her license, subject to rules of the Department.  A license shall not
be restored from inactive status unless the cosmetologist,
cosmetology
teacher, or cosmetology clinic teacher requesting the restoration completes
the number of hours of continuing
education required for renewal of a license under Section 3-7.

Any cosmetologist, cosmetology teacher, or cosmetology clinic
teacher whose license is in an inactive
status shall not practice in the State of Illinois.
