IL HB3206

Beginning July 1, 2024, the Department of Professional Regulation must supplement all paper-based certificates and licenses with digitally verified electronic credentials.

The Department may use a third-party electronic credential system that includes a verification mechanism to authenticate and validate electronic credentials.

Electronic credentials are defined as digital platform-based methods allowing individuals to display or transmit information that instantly verifies licensure, program completion, and verified skills and competencies.

This amendment modifies Section 2105-40 of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois regarding the issuance of certificates and licenses.

The Act takes effect upon becoming law.
