Section 25.486 - Licensure of Persons Who Are Delinquent in the Payment of Child Support
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024
Pursuant to Section 10-65 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act [5 ILCS 100/10-65 ], each State agency must require an applicant for a license to affirm on the application form, under penalty of perjury, that he or she is not more than 30 days delinquent in complying with a child support order. Accordingly, each applicant for the issuance, renewal, reinstatement or registration of an Illinois professional educator license, an educator license with stipulations or substitute teaching license or for the addition of another credential (e.g., endorsement, approval, designation), including any credential issued under Subpart G, shall be required to make this affirmation on the relevant form.
a) Each individual who fails to provide the affirmation required pursuant to this Section shall be ineligible to receive, register, reinstate or renew a license or to receive an additional credential until he or she provides to the State Superintendent of Education a statement from the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, issued on that agency's letterhead, indicating the status of the current child support arrangements.
b) The State Superintendent shall review the documentation provided by the applicant and determine whether issuance, renewal, reinstatement or registration of a license or issuance of one or more additional credentials, as applicable, is appropriate based on whether the individual has remedied the delinquency and made satisfactory arrangements to meet future obligations.
