Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(225 ILCS 80/7) (from Ch. 111, par. 3907)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 7. Additional practice locations. Every holder of a license under this Act shall report to the Department every additional location where the licensee engages in the practice of optometry. Such reports shall be made prior to practicing at the location and shall be done in a manner prescribed by the Department. Failure to report a practice location or to maintain evidence of such a report at the practice location shall be a violation of this Act and shall be considered the unlicensed practice of optometry. Registering a location where a licensee does not practice shall also be a violation of this Act.
Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed to require a licensed
optometrist in active practice to report a location to the Department when serving on the staff of a hospital or an
institution that receives no fees (other than entrance
registration
fees)
for the services rendered by the optometrist and for which the optometrist
receives no fees or compensation directly or indirectly for such services
rendered. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require a
licensed optometrist to report a location to the Department when rendering necessary optometric services for his or her
patients
confined to their homes, hospitals or institutions, or to act in an
advisory capacity, with or without remuneration, in any industry, school or
institution.
