IL HB4826

Licensees cannot receive continuing education credit for courses that promote, instruct, or provide guidance on services, treatments, practices, or procedures that are expressly prohibited by Illinois law or rule.

"Prohibited services" are defined as those that are illegal at the time the continuing education activity is completed.

Compliance determinations will only occur during continuing education audits or license renewal audits conducted by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

Prior Department approval of a continuing education provider or course does not override this restriction on prohibited content.

The Department is not required to proactively review, pre-approve, or monitor continuing education content outside of the audit process; effective January 1, 2027.
