Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 35. Board of Acupuncture.

The Secretary shall appoint a Board of
Acupuncture to
consist of 7 persons who shall serve in an advisory
capacity to the Secretary. Four members must hold an active license to engage in
the practice of acupuncture in this State, one member shall be a chiropractic
physician licensed under the Medical Practice Act of 1987 who is actively
engaged in the practice of acupuncture, one member shall be a physician
licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches in Illinois, and one
member must be a member of the public who is not licensed under this
Act or a
similar Act of another jurisdiction and who has no connection with the
profession.

Members shall serve 4-year terms and until their successors are appointed and
qualified.  No member may be appointed to more than 2 consecutive full terms.  Appointments to
fill vacancies shall be made in the same manner as original appointments for
the unexpired portion of the vacated term.  Initial terms shall begin upon the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997.

The Board may annually elect a chairperson and a vice-chairperson who shall
preside in the absence of the chairperson.  The membership of the Board should
reasonably reflect representation from the geographic areas in this State.  The
Secretary may terminate the appointment of any member for cause.
The Secretary may give due consideration to all recommendations of the Board.  A
majority of the Board members currently appointed shall constitute a quorum.  A
vacancy in the membership of the Board shall not impair the right of a quorum
to exercise the right and perform all the duties of the Board.  Members of the
Board shall have no liability in any action based upon any disciplinary
proceeding or other activity performed in good faith as a member of the
Board.
