Illinois Health Care Workers Get a Second Chance
Prior health care workers in Illinois with a past felony conviction can now seek to get a license issued or restored. The procedure is to petition the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which is required to consider three issues: 1.) the seriousness of the offense, 2.) how long ago it happened and 3.) whether there was professional disciplinary action against the practitioner. If you have been convicted of a sex crime you are ineligible for a health care license. P.A. 99-0886.
