(225 ILCS 410/3C-8) (from Ch. 111, par. 1703C-8)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2016)
Sec. 3C-8. License renewal; expiration; continuing education; persons in military service. The holder of a license issued under this Article may renew that license during the month preceding the expiration date of the license by paying the required fee and giving evidence, as the Department may prescribe, of completing not less than 10 hours of continuing education for a nail technician and 20 hours of continuing education for a nail technology teacher, within the 2 years prior to renewal. The continuing education shall be in subjects approved by the Department upon recommendation of the Barber, Cosmetology, Esthetics, Hair Braiding, and Nail Technology Board relating to the practice of nail technology, including, but not limited to, review of sanitary procedures, review of chemical service procedures, review of this Act, and review of the Workers' Compensation Act. However, at least 10 of the hours of continuing education required for a nail technology teacher shall be in subjects relating to teaching methodology, educational psychology, and classroom management or in other subjects related to teaching.
A license that has been expired or placed on inactive status may be restored only by payment of the restoration fee and submitting evidence satisfactory to the Department of the meeting of current qualifications and fitness of the licensee, including the completion of continuing education hours for the period subsequent to expiration.
A license issued under this Article that has expired while the holder of the license was engaged (1) in federal service on active duty with the Army of the United States, the United States Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, the Coast Guard, or any Women's Auxiliary thereof, or the State Militia called into the service or training of the United States of America, or (2) in training or education under the supervision of the United States preliminary to induction into the military service, may be reinstated or restored without the payment of any lapsed renewal fees, reinstatement fee or restoration fee if, within 2 years after the termination of the service, training, or education other than by dishonorable discharge, the holder furnishes the Department with an affidavit to the effect that the certificate holder has been so engaged and that the service, training, or education has been so terminated.
The Department, in its discretion, may waive enforcement of the continuing education requirement in this Section, and shall adopt rules defining the standards and criteria for such waiver, under the following circumstances:
(a) the licensee resides in a locality where it is demonstrated that the absence of opportunities for such education would interfere with the ability of the licensee to provide service to the public;
(b) the licensee's compliance with the continuing education requirements would cause a substantial financial hardship on the licensee;
(c) the licensee is serving in the United States Armed Forces; or
(d) the licensee is incapacitated due to illness.
