    AN ACT concerning regulation.

Disciplinary Act is amended by changing Sections 40 and 42 as
follows:
 
    (225 ILCS 427/40)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2020)
    Sec. 40. Qualifications for licensure as a community
association manager.
    (a) No person shall be qualified for licensure as a
community association manager under this Act, unless he or she
has applied in writing on the prescribed forms and has paid the
required, nonrefundable fees and meets all of the following
qualifications:
        (1) He or she is at least 18 21 years of age.
        (2) He or she provides satisfactory evidence of having

    or any other jurisdiction, that would be a violation of

    Department may take into consideration whether the
    applicant has engaged in conduct or activities that would
    constitute grounds for discipline under this Act. Good
    moral character is a continuing requirement of licensure.
    Conviction of crimes may be used in determining moral
    character, but shall not constitute an absolute bar to
    licensure.

    mental or physical defect or disease, unless a court has
    subsequently declared him or her to be competent.

    qualifications for licensure as determined by rule of the
    Department.
    (b) The education requirement set forth in item (2) of
subsection (a) of this Section shall not apply to persons

license in good standing issued under the Real Estate License
Act of 2000.

items (2) and (3) of subsection (a) of this Section shall not
apply to any person who within 6 months from the effective date
of the requirement for licensure, as set forth in Section 170
of this Act, applies for a license by providing satisfactory
evidence to the Department of qualifying experience or
education, as may be set forth by rule, including without
limitation evidence that he or she has practiced community
association management for a period of 5 years.
    (d) Applicants have 3 years from the date of application to
complete the application process. If the process has not been
completed within the 3 years, the application shall be denied,
the fee shall be forfeited, and the applicant must reapply and
meet the requirements in effect at the time of re-application.
