10 rules. If an application is received during the 180-day
11 period, the individual may continue to practice until the

13 application is not filed within the 180-day period, the
14 individual must cease the practice of geology at the
15 conclusion of the 180-day period and until the Department
16 acts to grant a license to the individual.

1 set by rule. A professional geologist whose license has
2 expired may reinstate his or her license at any time within 5
3 years after the expiration thereof, by making a renewal
4 application and by paying the required fee. However, any
5 professional geologist whose license expired while he or she

8 militia or (ii) in training or education under the
9 supervision of the United States preliminary to induction
10 into the military service, may have his professional
11 geologist license renewed, reinstated, or restored without
12 paying any lapsed renewal fees if within 2 years after
13 termination of the service, training, or education the
14 professional geologist furnishes the Department with
15 satisfactory evidence of service, training, or education and
16 it has been terminated under honorable conditions.
17 Any professional geologist whose license has expired for
18 more than 5 years may have it restored by making application
19 to the Department, paying the required fee, and filing
20 acceptable proof of fitness to have the license restored. The
21 proof may include sworn evidence certifying active practice
22 in another jurisdiction. If the geologist has not practiced
23 for 5 years or more, the Board shall determine by an
24 evaluation program established by rule, whether that
25 individual is fit to resume active status and may require the
26 professional geologist to complete a period of evaluated
27 professional clinical experience and may require successful
28 completion of an examination.
29 The Department may refuse to issue or may suspend the
30 license of any person who fails to file a return, or to pay
31 the tax, penalty or interest shown in a filed return, or to
32 pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, or interest, as
33 required by any tax Act administered by the Illinois
34 Department of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of
-4- LRB9003267DPpkam
