Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 45. Examination; failure or refusal to take examination.

practice respiratory care.

(b) Applicants for examination shall pay, either to the Department or to the
designated testing service, a fee covering the cost of providing the

fee.

(c) If an applicant neglects, fails, or refuses to take an examination, or
fails to pass an examination for a license under this Act within 3 years after
filing an application, the application shall be denied
and the fee forfeited.
