 4        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 5    represented in the General Assembly:
 6        Section 5.  The Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private
 7    Security,  and  Locksmith  Act of 1993 is amended by changing
 8    Section 105 as follows:
 9        (225 ILCS 446/105)
10        Sec. 105.  Issuance of license; renewal, fees.
11        (a)  The   Department   shall,   upon   the   applicant's
12    satisfactory completion of the requirements authorized  under
13    this  Act,  and upon receipt of the requisite fees, issue the
14    appropriate license and wallet  card  showing  the  name  and
15    business  location  of the licensee and the dates of issuance
16    and expiration, and containing a photograph of  the  licensee
17    provided to the Department that is not more than one year old
18    as  of the date of application for licensure and reflects any
19    recent appearance changes.
20        (b)  An applicant may  upon  satisfactory  completion  of
21    requirements  authorized  under this Act, and upon receipt of
22    requisite fees related to the  application  and  testing  for
23    licensure  under this Act, elect to defer the issuance of the
24    applicant's initial license for a period not  longer  than  6
25    years.   Any applicant who fails to request issuance of their
26    initial license or agency  certificate  and  remit  the  fees
27    associated with that license within 6 years shall be required
28    to  resubmit  an  applicant  for  licensure together with all
29    required fees.
30        (c)  The expiration date, renewal period, and  conditions
31    for   renewal   and   restoration  of  each  license,  agency
                            -2-               LRB9005005DPccB
 1    certificate of registration, permanent employee  registration
 2    card,  and  firearm  authorization card issued under this Act
 3    shall be set by rule of the Department.  The holder may renew
 4    the license, agency certificate  of  registration,  permanent
 5    employee  registration  card,  or  firearm authorization card
 6    during the month  preceding  its  expiration  by  paying  the
 7    required  fee  and  by  meeting  those  conditions  that  the
 8    Department  may specify.  Any license holder who notifies the
 9    Department in writing, on forms prescribed by the Department,
10    may elect to place his or her license on an  inactive  status
11    for  a period of no longer than 6 years and shall, subject to
12    the rules of the  Department,  be  excused  from  payment  of
13    renewal  fees  until  he  or  she  notifies the Department in
14    writing of a desire to resume active status.  Practice  while
15    on   inactive  status  constitutes  unlicensed  practice.   A
16    nonrenewed license that has lapsed for less than 6 years  may
17    be  restored  upon  payment of a $50 restoration fee plus all
18    lapsed renewal fees.  A license that has lapsed for more than
19    6 years may be restored by paying the required fees specified
20    in this Section and by providing evidence  of  competence  to
21    resume practice satisfactory to the Department and the Board,
22    which  may  include  passage of the written examination.  All
23    restoration fees and lapsed renewal fees shall be waived  for
24    an applicant whose license lapsed while on active duty in the
25    military  provided application for restoration is made within
26    one year after discharge from the service.
