5 licenses issued under this Act shall be every 2 years. A
6 licensee may renew his or her license during the month
7 preceding the expiration date of the license by paying the
8 required fee. It is the responsibility of the licensee to

10 condition of renewal, a licensee must show proof of continued

19 required fees. Proof of fitness may include sworn evidence
20 certifying to active lawful practice in another jurisdiction.
21     If the licensee has not maintained an active practice in
22 another jurisdiction satisfactory to the Department, the

24 established by rule, his or her fitness for restoration of the
25 license and shall establish procedures and requirements for
26 restoration. However, a licensee whose license expired while he

8 furnishes the Department with satisfactory evidence to the
9 effect that he or she has been so engaged and that his or her
10 service, training, or education has been so terminated.

20     Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may
21 exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under
22 the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or
23 promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions of this
24 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. If, however, the
25 Governor believes that rules are necessary to implement or

5 Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact those
6 suggested rules into law, or take any other appropriate action
7 in the General Assembly's discretion. Nothing contained in this
8 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly shall be
9 interpreted to grant rulemaking authority under any other
10 Illinois statute where such authority is not otherwise
11 explicitly given. For the purposes of this amendatory Act of
12 the 95th General Assembly, "rules" is given the meaning
13 contained in Section 1-70 of the Illinois Administrative
14 Procedure Act, and "agency" and "agency head" are given the
15 meanings contained in Sections 1-20 and 1-25 of the Illinois
16 Administrative Procedure Act to the extent that such
