IL HB2373

Establishes new criteria for measuring registered professional nurse education program effectiveness: programs must achieve either a 75% or greater pass rate on the state licensure exam for first-time test takers in the most recent year, OR a 75% or greater average pass rate over the last 3 years for first-time test takers

Programs meeting one of the effectiveness measurements will be deemed "in good standing" by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation

Authorizes the Department to rescind, without a hearing, the license of any person who obtained their nursing license based on educational credits from a program that did not meet state or out-of-state approval requirements during the time they earned those credits

Removes the previous provision that automatically placed programs on probationary status through September 1, 2026 and granted a 3-year grace period to programs already on probation

License rescission for attending a non-compliant program would not count as formal discipline and would not automatically bar the individual from reapplying for licensure
