| Public Act 103-0627 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning regulation.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Architecture Practice Act of 1989 | ||||
is amended by changing Section 12 as follows:
| ||||
(225 ILCS 305/12) (from Ch. 111, par. 1312)
| ||||
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2030)
| ||||
Sec. 12. Examinations. | ||||
(a) The Department shall authorize examinations of | ||||
applicants for a license under this Act at such times and | ||||
places as it may determine. The examination shall be of a | ||||
character to give a fair test of the qualifications of the | ||||
applicant to practice as an architect. | ||||
(b) An applicant for examination is required to pay, | ||||
either to the Department or the designated testing service, a | ||||
fee covering the cost of providing the examination. Failure to | ||||
appear for the examination on the scheduled date, at the time | ||||
and place specified, after the applicant's application for | ||||
examination has been received and acknowledged by the | ||||
Department or the designated testing service, shall result in | ||||
the forfeiture of the examination fee. | ||||
(c) If an applicant fails to pass an examination for | ||||
licensure under this Act within 3 years after filing the | ||||
application, the application shall be denied. However, such | ||
applicant may thereafter make a new application for | ||
examination accompanied by the required fee and must furnish | ||
proof of meeting the qualifications for examination in effect | ||
at the time of the new application.
| ||
Examination subject matter headings and bases on which | ||
examinations are
graded shall be indicated in rules pertaining | ||
to this Act. The Department
may adopt the examinations and | ||
grading procedures of the National Council
of Architectural | ||
Registration Boards.
| ||
(d) An applicant shall have 5 years from the passage of the | ||
first examination to successfully complete all examinations | ||
required by rule of the Department.
| ||
(e) An applicant has one year from the date of | ||
notification of
successful completion of all the examination | ||
and experience requirements to apply to the
Department for a | ||
license. If an applicant fails to apply within one year,
the | ||
applicant shall be required to again take and pass the | ||
examination, unless the Department, upon recommendation of the | ||
Board, determines that there is sufficient cause for the delay | ||
that is not due to the fault of the applicant.
