Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Professional Land Surveyor Act of 1989. Replaces all references to "Director" with "Secretary". Allows the Department to exercise the functions, powers, or duties enumerated to it by the Act without first requiring the action and report in writing of the Board. Provides that the Secretary may consider the advice and recommendations of the Board on issues involving standards of professional conduct, discipline and qualifications of the candidates and licensees under this Act (now, the Secretary shall consider). Provides that the Department may license an applicant who is licensed as a land surveyor in another state, U.S. jurisdiction, or foreign country, provided that he or she meets certain requirements. Provides that the Department may take disciplinary action against any person that commits certain tax violations. Provides that the Department or Board may order a licensee or applicant to submit to a mental or physical examination, or both, for certain violations of the Act. Provides that the Department shall deny a license or renewal to a person that has defaulted on an education loan or scholarship provided or guaranteed by the State. Provides that the Department may suspend or revoke a license, or deny a license or renewal, or take any other disciplinary action against a person who is more than 30 days delinquent in the payment of child support if the Department of Healthcare and Family Services has certified the delinquency to the Department. Provides that the Secretary may, through the Attorney General or the State's Attorney of the county in which a violation is alleged to have occurred, petition for an order enjoining a violation or for an order enforcing compliance with this Act. Defines "address of record". Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
