REDUCING BARRIERS TO LICENSURE

Summary

The measure changes Illinois licensing rules so that being in prison or having a criminal record no longer automatically blocks an application. It also makes certain confidential licensing records sealed and not reportable, and eliminates a required annual report from the licensing department. The changes are aimed at reducing barriers for workers such as barbers, cosmetologists, health‑care providers and other licensed professionals.
