Complete·8/15/25

Illinois HB3487 mandates data collection from behavioral health professionals to monitor workforce diversity and shortages.

HB3487, known as the Behavioral Health Workforce Data Collection Act, requires the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to gather demographic and professional data from behavioral health professionals during initial licensure and license renewal. The collected data, which includes categories such as gender, race, languages spoken, and work settings, must be published annually in an aggregated, de-identified format. This data aims to help stakeholders identify workforce shortages by region and specialty, forecast future needs, and inform public policy decisions.
