PROF REG-CRIM HISTORY
Summary
Amends the Department of Professional Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Requires the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to make available on its website general information on how the Department uses criminal history information in its decisions on licensure applications, including a list of enumerated offenses that bar licensure (rather than requiring the Department to have rules on how a person with criminal history would apply for a non-binding, advisory opinion from the Department as to whether his or her criminal history would bar licensure). Effective immediately.
