(225 ILCS 5/13) (from Ch. 111, par. 7613)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2016)
Sec. 13. Endorsement. The Department may, at its discretion, license as an athletic trainer, without examination, on payment of the fee, an applicant for licensure who is an athletic trainer registered or licensed under the laws of another state if the requirements pertaining to athletic trainers in such state were at the date of his or her registration or licensure substantially equal to the requirements in force in Illinois on that date. If the requirements of that state are not substantially equal to the Illinois requirements, or if at the time of application the state in which the applicant has been practicing does not regulate the practice of athletic training, and the applicant began practice in that state prior to January 1, 2004, a person having the qualifications prescribed in this Section may be qualified to receive a license as an athletic trainer if he or she:
(1) has passed an examination approved by the
Department to determine his or her fitness for practice as an athletic trainer; and
(2) gives proof of current certification, on the date
of application, in CPR/AED for the Healthcare Professional or equivalent based on American Red Cross or American Heart Association standards.
The Department may request a personal interview of an applicant before the Board to further evaluate his or her qualifications for a license.
Applicants have 3 years from the date of application to complete the application process. If the process has not been completed in 3 years, the application shall be denied, the fee forfeited and the applicant must reapply and meet the requirements in effect at the time of reapplication.
