AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 3630
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 3630 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Clinical Psychologist Licensing Act is
amended by changing Section 13 as follows:
(225 ILCS 15/13) (from Ch. 111, par. 5363)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2017)
Sec. 13. License renewal; restoration. The expiration date
and renewal period for each license issued under this Act shall
be set by rule. Every holder of a license under this Act may
renew such license during the 90-day period immediately
preceding the expiration date thereof upon payment of the
required renewal fees and demonstrating compliance with any
continuing education requirements. The Department shall adopt
rules establishing minimum requirements of continuing
education and means for verification of the completion of the

09900HB3630ham001 - 2 - LRB099 08117 MGM 32291 a
continuing education requirements. The Department may contract
with the Illinois Psychological Association to audit
compliance with the continuing education requirements under
this Section, including approving courses and verifying that
licensees complete the continuing education requirements. The
Department may, by rule, specify circumstances under which the
continuing education requirements may be waived.
A clinical psychologist who has permitted his or her
license to expire or who has had his or her license on inactive
status may have his or her license restored by making
application to the Department and filing proof acceptable to
the Department, as defined by rule, of his or her fitness to
have his or her license restored, including evidence certifying
to active practice in another jurisdiction satisfactory to the
Department and by paying the required restoration fee.
If the clinical psychologist has not maintained an active
practice in another jurisdiction satisfactory to the
Department, the Board shall determine, by an evaluation program
established by rule, his or her fitness to resume active status
and may require the clinical psychologist to complete a period
of supervised professional experience and may require
successful completion of an examination.
However, any clinical psychologist whose license expired
while he or she was (1) in Federal Service on active duty with
the Armed Forces of the United States, or the State Militia
called into service or training, or (2) in training or

09900HB3630ham001 - 3 - LRB099 08117 MGM 32291 a
education under the supervision of the United States
preliminary to induction into the military service, may have
his or her license renewed or restored without paying any
lapsed renewal fees if within 2 years after honorable
termination of such service, training or education he or she
furnishes the Department with satisfactory evidence to the
effect that he or she has been so engaged and that his or her
service, training or education has been so terminated.
