NEW PROFESSIONAL LICENSING SYSTEM COMING TO ILLINOIS

By Danny Connolly,

2023-12-12

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WCIA) — A new professional licensing system is coming to
Illinois, thanks to a recent state law signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker.

IDPFR will get a new licensing system because of the law, after many advocates
called the old system outdated to the point it interfered with several
industries. More than a million workers in the state require a license or
registration.



“This new law will move us one step closer to streamlining the state’s licensure
process to help connect residents with good jobs and alleviate workforce
shortages across our communities,” Senator Suzy Glowiak Hilton (D-Western
Springs), who sponsored the bill in the Senate, said. “By providing IDFPR with
this support, we will help promote an effective and streamlined licensure
process for all Illinoisans.”

Bill to get IDFPR new licensing software passes Senate unanimously

Starting on Friday, when Pritzker signed the bill into law, the agency has 90
days to solicit vendors and pick a new licensing system from the proposals.
After the time is up, the state agency will have another 90 days to implement
the new software onto the agency’s website.



“This process – the result of a collaborative efforts between IDFPR, lawmakers,
and stakeholders – will ensure we set the gold standard nationally for
professional licensing here in Illinois,” IDFPR Secretary Mario Treto Jr. said.
“We are eager and prepared to take these steps in securing the solution the
hardworking people across the Land of Lincoln deserve.”

The law also requires IDFPR to extend expiration dates for licenses in some
industries where there is a great need or would avoid hardships for workers in
necessary fields.

All licensing is tyranny. Fuck off, government - all you do is make excuses to
steal our money and property and make it harder for us to survive under the
thinly veiled lie of “trying to help.”
