To whom it may concern:
The following is the report mandated by 20 ILCS 5000/15, for the Illinois Department of Financial and
Professional Regulation.
The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (DFPR) is comprised of three
Divisions, The Division of Professional Regulation (DPR), The Division of Financial Institutions (DFI),
and The Division of Banking (DOB). Each Division holds a unique role in serving the citizens of The
State of Illinois, but all three are unified in that they exist to administer and promulgate public acts in the
licensing and regulation of professionals and businesses. The Department employs approximately 500
individuals in a multitude of different job positions.
The Division of Professional Regulation is responsible for administering 61 professional licensure
acts. Administration of the licensure acts entails two key elements: 1) eligibility determination of
applicants for licensure resulting in license issuance or denial, and 2) the enforcement of the licensure
acts including investigating complaints received and prosecuting cases resulting in the imposition of
discipline. There are 235 different professional licensure categories within the 61 professional licensure
acts, 18 of these professions have a direct and critical impact upon the health, safety, and welfare of the
citizens of Illinois.
The Division of Financial Institutions regulates various state-licensed financial institutions to ensure
their safety and soundness and works to protect consumers in their interactions with these entities. The
division licenses, examines, and regulates all state-chartered credit unions, currency exchanges,
consumer installment lenders, sales finance companies, title insurance companies, money transmitters,
payday lenders, debt settlement companies, and debt management companies. The division also
administers and enforces 11 statutes in the Illinois Financial Institutions Code and its attending rules and
regulations.
The Division of Banking protects and educates the public and promotes confidence in the regulated
industries through administration of statutory responsibilities. The Division oversees the regulation and
licensure of State chartered banks, trust companies, ATMs not owned by financial institutions, check
printers, pawnbrokers, savings banks and savings and loan associations, and mortgage bankers and
brokers.

20 ILCS 5000/15(c) – November 1, 2011, FPR Report for the Task Force
(1) There are no restrictions for employment within the agency. There are 160 licenses and professions
that the agency regulates that have some level of restriction based on criminal history. (See Attachment
1 Column A)
(2) (See Attachment 1 Column C)
(3) (See Attachment 1 Columns D – J)
(A) (See Attachment 1 Columns D – F)
(B) (See Attachment 1 Columns D, G – J)
(4) (See Attachment 1 Columns K-L)
(5, 6, & 7) (See Attachment 1 Columns M & N for details of each profession) For each license and
profession the department regulates, there are standards for qualification. These standards include
education, training, experience requirements, and other metrics pertinent to each individual license.
These standards are declared in the more than 100 public acts that the agency promulgates. The agency
also, by authority of public act, enforces the prevention of unlicensed practice in the State. The agency
directly and intentionally impacts employment opportunities through restriction of rights to practice and
become licensed in the State. Each of the restrictions placed on licensing, that affect an individual’s
possibility of employment, are intended to protect and promote public safety and the common good.
Some restrictions apply universally across all licenses and professions, while some restrictions are
license, profession, or industry specific. In every act, there is a provision allowing the Department to
refuse to issue or renew a license or grant a registration if an applicant has been convicted of any crime
that is (i) a felony; or (ii) that is a misdemeanor, an essential element of which is dishonesty, or that is
directly related to the practice of the profession. There is also a provision for refusal of issuance for
engaging in dishonorable, unethical, or unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive, defraud,
or harm the public. These provisions apply to every professional the department regulates. In a minority
of examples, there are crimes that may act as an absolute bar to licensing, but for most every profession,
the Department evaluates each case on an individual basis. The process (See Appendix 0) requires that
applicants disclose their criminal history upon application. The circumstances of the history are
evaluated and the Department renders a decision on whether or not the information provided disqualifies
the individual from licensure, registration, or practice, as the case may be.
The subjective nature of the disqualification process is intentional and necessary. The Department is
charged with the task of determining who is qualified to operate and represent themselves as
professionals. The citizens of Illinois place their trust in the department, to ensure that, if a professional
is licensed in Illinois, they are competent and fit for duty. The simple fact of knowing that a professional
is licensed by the State, and seeing the indicia of said licensure, tells an Illinois consumer that they can
trust that, to the extent of the requirements of the Illinois licensing acts, the professional is qualified and
capable in their field, and that the professional warrants the public trust.
The Department evaluates all qualifications for licensure. Each profession has individual qualifications
for licensure directly related to the skill of the profession. There are also qualifications common to some
or all of the professions that relate to the professional’s character and conduct. One commonality, among
all professions, is that the citizens of Illinois, rightfully, expect professionals to be of good moral
character, ethical in the practice of their professions, and worthy of the trust of the public and the
clientele they serve. If any information about an applicant suggests that, if licensed in his or her desired
profession, the applicant may be a danger to Illinois consumers, that information must be carefully
analyzed and evaluated. A criminal history will always be pertinent to evaluating an applicant’s
qualifications, but, excepting a small number of specific situations (See Attachment 1 – PERC, Massage
Therapist, and All Healthcare Workers), a criminal history does not act as an absolute bar to licensure.

The Department is acutely aware of and a direct proponent of the possibility of rehabilitation of a
convicted criminal. The commission or conviction of a crime is only one part of the story for every
individual. The Department does not speculate on the reasons or causes of an applicant’s criminal
history. The focus is on the nature of the offence and the applicant’s progress and rehabilitation from the
time of the offense to now. In evaluating the nature of an offense, subjectivity is essential. An applicant
may carry a serious conviction as a result of a careless or youthful error, and another applicant may
carry a lesser conviction as a result of a more serious and deliberate offense. Time having elapsed from
the date of a conviction is rarely enough, on its own, to prove rehabilitation. However, an offense
committed a long time ago, with no indication of continued criminal activity, would not have the same
impact a more recent offense might. In many cases, the fact that an applicant is pursuing licensure or
certification in a profession, speaks to the applicant’s rehabilitation. Very few things demonstrate
rehabilitation as matter-of-factly as pursuing change and stability in one’s life. If an applicant carries a
criminal conviction for a crime that operating in the profession sought would not encourage or facilitate,
issuing the applicant a license, despite a criminal history, may in fact protect and promote the lives of
Illinois consumers by allowing the applicant to transition away from a life of crime, toward employment
as a professional.
Past practice can be a sound indicator of future action. If there is nothing that suggests an applicant has
been rehabilitated, or worse, indication that the applicant may be pursuing licensure with criminal intent
or motives, the Department must have the authority, legal basis, and a procedure to investigate the
history and actions of the applicant. In the interest of protecting the consumer, the Department must
decide, with due process and consideration for the applicant, if the applicant is qualified and fit for
licensure. In the event that the applicant is not qualified or does not warrant the trust of the Illinois
consumer, the Department must have the capability to refuse licensure and enforce the laws governing
unlicensed practice.
(8) None directly established.

These numbers are based on reports pulled from the FPR licensing database. The numbers of applicants for each license may not represent the total number
that actually applied, only the entries that were properly tagged as "application". The number of applicants disqualified should be accurate, and the total
number of applicants, if inaccurate, will be low, so the percentage of individuals disqualified will be an over estimate. All other data is not currently tracked.

The Life Cycle of Licensure through IDFPR:
Application
•
•
Potential licensee completes requirements for licensure
Individual submits application to the Department on official application forms (See Appendix 1a). Each
application is different, but all contain the same information form.
o Application requires disclosure of criminal history and personal history
Disclosure of arrest records and criminal convictions (See Appendix 1b)
Disclosure of mental health and physical problems
o Some applications require fingerprint for criminal records search (See Appendix 1c)
Investigation & Review
•
If applicant indicates a history of criminal conviction, if a fingerprint search returns a record of criminal
conviction, or if a criminal conviction is reported on a licensee, the file is routed to the Prosecutions
Unit. If there is no relevant conviction, the license will be issued per the other rules.
o Chief of prosecutions reviews the entire file, evaluating the on the grounds of seriousness and
nature of the offense, relation to the desired license, time elapsed since the offense, actions and
activities since the offense, whether or not the applicant honestly disclosed the offence, and
whether the offence is part of a pattern of continued criminal activity or an isolated event. Chief
of prosecutions then decides to allow the issuance of the license, or to issue an Intent to Deny
(ITD) letter to the applicant (See Appendix 2a). If the applicant is already licensed, an Intent to
Refuse to Renew (ITRTR) letter would be sent (See Appendix 2b).
Petition
•
Applicant has 30 days to respond to the ITD to contest the denial and petition to be heard via a Petition
for Hearing (See Appendix 3a). If the Petitioner had previously been licensed, the petition would be a
Petition for Restoration (See Appendix 3b).
o Petitioner schedules a conference/hearing with the Department and is given an opportunity to
explain their case and to provide additional information or to answer questions the Department
may have.
o Prosecution unit decides, after reviewing the new information gained through the conference,
whether to issue the license or to proceed to a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ).
o Petitioner and Department may mutually agree on an appropriate course of action and enter an
agreement by signing a consent order. A consent order becomes final once signed and the case is
completed.
Hearing
•
•
If the case proceeds to a hearing before an ALJ, the Department conducts a hearing per the
Administrative Hearing Procedure Act (See Appendix 4).
o Once the hearing procedure is complete, the ALJ submits his or her Findings of Fact,
Conclusions of Law, and Recommendations to the Board, to the applicable professional board.
Boards are composed, generally, of professionals licensed in the fields their boards cover.
o The board reviews the ALJ report and transcripts of the proceedings, and prepares a report to the
Director of the Department conferring their Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and
Recommendations to the Director.
Upon submission of the Board Report to the Director, the Department issues a 20-Day Notice (See
Appendix 5) to the petitioner. The 20-Day Notice consists of a form-letter cover page, the ALJ Report,
and the Board Report.
o The petitioner has 20 days from the mailing date of the notice to submit a motion for rehearing to
the Department.
o If the motion for rehearing is granted, the hearing procedure starts over
Director’s Order
•
If a motion for rehearing is denied or if no motion is received in the 20-day period, the Director will
review the reports from the Board and the ALJ and issue an order on the action to be taken for the
petitioner’s application (See Appendix 6).
o If the order denies the petition for licensure, the petitioner may request an Administrative
Review, per the Administrative Review Law. Each licensing act provides for judicial review and
generally establishes a venue for said review.
Going Forward
If the petitioner desires to pursue licensure again, he or she may submit a new application for licensure at any
time after the final order.

CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIREMENT
All individuals applying for initial licensure as a massage therapist in Illinois must submit to a
criminal background check and provide evidence of fingerprint processing from the Illinois State
Police, or its designated agent. Applicant must contact one of the livescan fingerprint vendors,
approved by the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation, Division of Professional Regulation, to schedule an appointment. (Fingerprinting
processing fees are established by the respective vendor and the Illinois State Police.) Enclosed is a
list of approved livescan certified vendors.
A receipt substantiating proof of livescan printing issued by the vendor at the time of being
fingerprinted, or the Department's Certifying Statement Fingerprint Submission form (FP-MT),
must be submitted to the Department or the Department's testing vendor with the application.
Refer to application instructions for details regarding application submission.
Applicants may contact a livescan-fingerprinting vendor, approved by the Illinois State
Police, to schedule an appointment for fingerprinting. Each applicant will be provided a
written receipt once they have been fingerprinted. This receipt must be submitted to the
Department with the application and fee. Applicants unable to schedule an appointment at a
livescan facility may submit fingerprint cards in lieu of livescan. (See "Out-of-State
applicants" below.) Fingerprints must be taken within 60 days prior to submission of the
application for licensure.
Out-of-State applicants who are unable to schedule an appointment at a livescan facility are
required to submit fingerprint cards for the State Police and FBI. To facilitate this process
we have enclosed two fingerprint cards and the Certifying Statement Fingerprint
Submission Form (FP-MT).
The cards may be taken to a local police authority in any state to obtain classifiable prints.
The cards and processing fee may then be submitted to one of the above vendors. (Fees are
established by the respective vendor and the Illinois State Police.)
