HB1270

Illinois HB1270 modifies the rules for health care professionals to hold both volunteer and non-volunteer licenses.

HB1270 amends the Department of Professional Regulation Law to allow health care professionals to hold either a volunteer or non-volunteer license, but not both simultaneously. If a professional holds both, the non-volunteer license will be placed in inactive status. The bill also allows professionals to change their volunteer license status to active during the same renewal period without fees. It defines "volunteer practice" as providing health care services without compensation. The bill removes the volunteer licensure fee and modifies the requirements for volunteer licenses.
