1     (210 ILCS 9/45)
2     Sec. 45. Renewal of licenses. At least 120 days, but not
3 more than 150 days prior to license expiration, the licensee
4 shall submit an application for renewal of the license in such
5 form and containing such information as the Department

7 (i) has not committed a Type 1 violation in the preceding 24
8 months, (ii) has not committed a Type 2 violation in the
9 preceding 24 months, and (iii) has not had an inspection,
10 review, or evaluation that resulted in a finding of 10 or more
11 Type 3 violations in the preceding 24 months, the Department

13 licensee whose license has been renewed for 2 years under this
14 Section subsequently fails to meet any of the conditions set
15 forth in items (i), (ii), and (iii), then, in addition to any
16 other sanctions that the Department may impose under this Act,
17 the Department shall revoke the 2-year license and replace it
18 with a one-year license until the licensee again meets all of
19 the conditions set forth in items (i), (ii), and (iii) the
20 license shall be renewed for an additional one-year period. If
21 appropriate, the renewal application shall not be approved
22 unless the applicant has provided to the Department an accurate
23 disclosure document in accordance with the Alzheimer's Special
24 Care Disclosure Act. If the application for renewal is not
25 timely filed, the Department shall so inform the licensee.
