IL HB3420

Requires all applicants for physical therapist or physical therapist assistant licensure in Illinois to submit fingerprints for criminal history background checks through the Illinois State Police and FBI databases

Ratifies Illinois's participation in the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact, allowing licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to practice across member states through a "compact privilege" without obtaining separate licenses in each state

Establishes eligibility requirements for compact privilege including holding an unencumbered license in the home state, no adverse actions within the previous 2 years, meeting jurisprudence requirements, and paying applicable fees

Creates the Physical Therapy Compact Commission as an interstate governing body with authority to promulgate binding rules, maintain a data system for licensure and disciplinary information, and enforce compliance among member states

Allows active duty military personnel and their spouses to designate their home of record, permanent change of station location, or current residence as their home state for compact purposes
