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.

225 ILCS 110/8.1

(225 ILCS 110/8.1)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)

Sec. 8.1. Temporary license.

On and after July 1, 2005, a person who has
met the requirements of items (a) through (e) of Section 8 and intends to
undertake supervised professional experience as a speech-language pathologist,
as required by subsection (f) of Section 8 and the rules adopted by the
Department, must first obtain a temporary license from the Department. A
temporary license may be issued by the Department only to an applicant pursuing
licensure as a speech-language pathologist in this State. A temporary license
shall be issued to an applicant upon receipt of the required fee as set forth
by rule and documentation on forms prescribed by the Department certifying that his or her professional experience will be supervised by a licensed speech-language pathologist. A temporary license shall be issued
for a period of 18 months and may be renewed only once for good cause shown.

A person who has completed the course and clinical curriculum required to receive a master's degree in speech-language pathology, as minimally required under subsection (d) of Section 8 of this Act for a license to practice speech-language pathology, but who has not yet been conferred the master's degree, may make application to the Department for a temporary license under this Section  and may begin his or her supervised professional experience as a speech-language pathologist without a temporary license for 120 days from the date of application or until disposition of the license application by the Department, whichever is sooner.
