HB3462

DFPR-CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS

Chamber Passed·4/8/25

Illinois HB3462 amends licensing laws to improve fairness in considering criminal convictions for applicants.

HB3462 modifies the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's approach to evaluating applicants with criminal convictions. The bill requires the department to consider mitigating factors when deciding if a conviction is directly related to the applicant's ability to perform job duties. It prohibits the use of vague terms like "good moral character" in evaluating criminal records. The bill also mandates that the department notify applicants of any denials in writing, detailing the reasons and appeal process.
