		HB4749 Enrolled		LRB104 18327 AAS 31767 b
1		    AN ACT concerning regulation.
2		    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3		represented in the General Assembly:
4		    Section 5. The Nurse Practice Act is amended by adding
5		Section 50-28 as follows:
6		    (225 ILCS 65/50-28 new)
7		    Sec. 50-28. Qualifications for licensure; temporary 
8		suspension.
9		    (a) In order to protect the public and ensure safe and 
10		adequate health care services, if the Department finds that 
11		any person licensed or authorized to practice under this Act 
12		was not properly credentialed pursuant to the standards 
13		required at the time of application, the Department may 
14		temporarily suspend the person's license or authorization to 
15		practice without prior hearing until the Department receives 
16		satisfactory evidence of the licensee's overall 
17		qualifications.
18		    (b) The Department shall notify the licensee of the 
19		temporary suspension at the licensee's address of record or 
20		email address of record. The licensee may request that the 
21		Board review the validity of the license within 30 days after 
22		the service of the notice and shall submit written evidence in 
23		support of the licensee's qualifications with the request for 
		HB4749 Enrolled	- 2 -	LRB104 18327 AAS 31767 b
1		review. The licensee may seek an extension of time to provide 
2		such evidence, during which the suspension shall remain in 
3		effect. The Board, at its next regularly scheduled meeting, 
4		shall review the request and any written evidence provided by 
5		the licensee and make a final recommendation regarding the 
6		licensee's qualifications to the Director of the Division of 
7		Professional Regulation of the Department.
8		    (c) Based upon the Board's final recommendation, the 
9		Director of the Division of Professional Regulation may issue 
10		an order withdrawing the license due to the licensee's lack of 
11		qualifications or lift the suspension of the license by 
12		stipulating terms and conditions of practice. Withdrawal of 
13		the license alone shall not constitute discipline or be a bar 
14		to licensure if the licensee makes a subsequent reapplication 
15		that meets the qualifications under this Act.
16		    (d) Disciplinary proceedings may also be initiated 
17		pursuant to the Board's recommendation or Department findings 
18		and shall be conducted in the same manner as other 
19		disciplinary proceedings under this Act.
20		    (e) The Department may adopt rules to implement, 
21		administer, and enforce this Section.
22		    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
23		becoming law.
