Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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 60/20) (from Ch. 111, par. 4400-20)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 20. Continuing education. The Department shall promulgate
rules of continuing education for persons licensed under
this Act that require an average of 50 hours of
continuing education per license year. These rules
shall be consistent with
requirements of relevant professional associations, specialty
societies, or boards. The rules shall also address variances in part or in
whole for good cause, including, but not limited to, temporary illness
or
hardship. In establishing these rules, the
Department shall consider educational requirements for
medical staffs, requirements for specialty society board
certification or for continuing education requirements as a
condition of membership in societies representing the 2
categories of licensee under this Act. These rules shall
assure that licensees are given the opportunity to
participate in those programs sponsored by or through their
professional associations or hospitals which are relevant to
their practice. Each licensee is responsible for maintaining records of
completion of continuing education and shall be prepared to produce the
records when requested by the Department.
