Sec. 30-5. Licensing of pre-license schools, school branches, and instructors.
(a) No person shall operate a pre-license school or school branch without possessing a valid pre-license school or school branch license issued by the Department. No person shall act as a pre-license instructor at a pre-license school or school branch without possessing a valid pre-license instructor license issued by the Department. Every person who desires to obtain a pre-license school, school branch, or pre-license instructor license shall make application to the Department in writing in form and substance satisfactory to the Department and pay the required fees prescribed by rule. In addition to any other information required to be contained in the application, every application for an original license shall include the applicant's Social Security number, which shall be retained in the agency's records pertaining to the license. As soon as practical, the Department shall assign a customer's identification number to each applicant for a license.
Every application for a renewal or restored license shall require the applicant's customer identification number.
The Department shall issue a pre-license school, school branch, or pre-license instructor license to applicants who meet qualification criteria established by rule. The Department may refuse to issue, suspend, revoke, or otherwise discipline a pre-license school, school branch, or pre-license instructor license or may withdraw approval of a course offered by a pre-license school for good cause. Disciplinary proceedings shall be conducted by the Board in the same manner as other disciplinary proceedings under this Act.
(b) All pre-license instructors must teach at least one course within the period of licensure or take an instructor training program approved by the Department in lieu thereof. A pre-license instructor may teach at more than one licensed pre-license school.
(c) The term of license for pre-license schools, branches, and instructors shall be 2 years as established by rule.
(d) The Department or the Advisory Council may, after notice, cause a pre-license school to attend an informal conference before the Advisory Council for failure to comply with any requirement for licensure or for failure to comply with any provision of this Act or the rules for the administration of this Act. The Advisory Council shall make a recommendation to the Board as a result of its findings at the conclusion of any such informal conference.
(e) For purposes of this Section, the term "pre-license" shall also include the 30-hour post-license course required to be taken to retain a broker's license.
