SB3666

REDUCING BARRIERS TO LICENSURE

Introduced·2/5/26
Introduced Text

Illinois SB3666 aims to reduce barriers to licensure by easing restrictions on individuals with criminal histories seeking professional licenses.

Illinois SB3666, the Reducing Barriers to Licensure Act, modifies the criteria for obtaining and maintaining professional licenses in Illinois. It allows individuals with active licenses in certain professions, such as cosmetology, esthetics, and hair braiding, to obtain additional licenses without completing additional licensure requirements. The bill also mandates that the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation not automatically place applications on hold or deny them based on the applicant's incarceration status.
