MED SCHOOL-BACKGROUND CHECK
Summary
Creates the Medical School Applicant Criminal Background Check Act. Provides that an applicant for admission to a medical school in the State must submit to, and each medical school located in the State must require, a criminal background check for felony convictions by the Department of State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of the medical school admissions application process. Sets forth procedures for conducting the criminal background check. Provides that the Department of State Police shall charge a fee for conducting the criminal background check and that the medical school requesting the check shall be responsible for paying the fee. Provides that the medical school may, in turn, impose a fee on applicants to cover the cost of the background check. Provides that a felony conviction shall not preclude an applicant from gaining admission to any medical school located in the State, but shall be used as a factor in determining whether or not to admit an applicant. Amends the Department of State Police Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois to make a corresponding change. Effective immediately.
