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.

    Sec. 48. Endorsement.
    (a) The Department may issue a registration as a landscape architect to an applicant who submits a valid application accompanied by the required fee and is a landscape architect licensed or registered under the laws of another state, the District of Columbia, a territory of the United States, or a foreign country if the requirements for licensure, registration, or certification in that other jurisdiction were, on the date of original licensure, registration, or certification, substantially equivalent to the requirements then in force in this State.
    (b) An application for endorsement shall provide proof of passage of an examination required for registration.
    (c) If the accuracy of any submitted documentation or relevance or sufficiency of the coursework or experience is questioned by the Department or the Board because of a lack of information, discrepancies, or conflicts in information given or a need for clarification, the applicant seeking registration may be required to provide additional information.
    (d) An applicant has 3 years from the date of application to complete the application process. If the process has not been completed in 3 years, the application shall be denied, the fee forfeited, and the applicant must reapply and meet the requirements in effect at the time of reapplication.
