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.

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 40.
Examination; failure or refusal to take examination.
(a) The Department shall authorize examinations of applicants at such times
and places as it may determine. The examinations shall be of a character to
fairly test the competence and qualifications of the applicants to practice
professional counseling or clinical professional counseling.
(b) Applicants for examination shall pay, either to the Department or to
the designated testing service, a fee covering the cost of providing the
examination. Failure to appear for the examination on the scheduled date at the
time and place specified after the applicant's application for examination has
been received and acknowledged by the Department or the designated testing
service shall result in forfeiture of the examination fee.
(c) If an applicant neglects, fails, or refuses to take an examination
or fails to pass an examination for a license under this Act within 3 years
after filing an application, the application will be denied. However, the
applicant may thereafter submit a new application accompanied by the required
fee. The applicant shall meet the requirements in force at the time of making
the new application.
(d) The Department may employ consultants for the purpose of preparing
and conducting examinations.
