IL SB3666

Prohibits the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation from automatically delaying, denying, or placing on hold license applications submitted by incarcerated individuals under the Barber, Cosmetology, Esthetics, Hair Braiding, and Nail Technology Act

Removes "good moral character" as a standalone basis for license denial and requires the Department to consider specific factors including the direct relationship between prior convictions and job duties, rehabilitation evidence, time since conviction, and employment history

Expands protections for applicants with criminal records by preventing license denials based solely on prior convictions, and requires eligible offenders with a certificate of relief from disabilities to not be denied specific state licenses based on criminal history

Changes how sealed conviction records are handled under the Health Care Professional Credentials Data Collection Act, designating them as "sealed" rather than "expunged" for reporting purposes

Repeals the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's annual reporting requirement to the General Assembly and takes effect immediately
