Sec. 30-15.

Licensing of education providers; approval of
courses.

(a) (Blank).

(b) (Blank).

(c) (Blank).

(d) (Blank).

(e) (Blank).

(f) All education providers shall submit, at the time of initial
application and
with each license renewal, a list of courses with course materials that comply with the course requirements in this Act to be
offered by the education provider. The Department may establish an online mechanism by which education providers may submit for approval by the Department upon the recommendation of the  Board or its designee pre-license, post-license, or continuing education courses that
are submitted
after the time of the education provider's initial license application or renewal. The Department shall provide to each education provider
 a certificate for each approved pre-license, post-license, or continuing education course.  All pre-license, post-license, or
continuing education
courses shall be valid for the period coinciding with the term of license of
the education provider. However, in no case shall a course continue to be valid if it does not, at all times, meet all of the requirements of the core curriculum established by this Act and the Board, as modified from time to time in accordance with this Act.  All education providers shall provide a copy of the
certificate of the pre-license, post-license, or continuing
education course within the course materials given to each student or shall
display a copy of the
certificate of the pre-license, post-license, or continuing education course in a conspicuous place at the
location of the class.

(g) Each education provider shall provide to the Department a report
in a
frequency and format determined by the Department, with information concerning students who
successfully completed all
approved pre-license, post-license, or continuing education courses offered by the education provider.

(h) The Department, upon the recommendation of the Board, may temporarily
suspend a licensed education provider's approved courses without
hearing and refuse to
accept successful completion of or participation in any of these pre-license, post-license, or continuing
education courses for
 education credit from that education provider upon the failure of that
 education provider
to comply with the provisions of this Act or the rules for the administration
of this Act, until such
time as the Department receives satisfactory assurance of compliance. The Department shall notify
the
education provider of the noncompliance and may initiate disciplinary
proceedings pursuant to
this Act. The Department
 may refuse to issue, suspend, revoke, or otherwise discipline the license
of an
education provider or may withdraw approval of a pre-license, post-license, or continuing education course for
good cause.
Failure to comply with the requirements of this Section or any other
requirements
established by rule shall
be deemed to be good cause.  Disciplinary proceedings shall be conducted by the
Board in the same
manner as other disciplinary proceedings under this Act.

(i) Pre-license, post-license, and continuing education courses, whether submitted for approval at the time of an education provider's initial application for licensure or otherwise, must meet the following minimum course requirements:

(1) Continuing education courses shall be required to be at least one hour in duration.
