DFPR LICENSE RENEWAL WAIVE FEE

What this bill does

Amends the Department of Professional Regulation Law. Provides that when a licensee applies to renew a license, the Division of Professional Regulation of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation shall deem the licensee's renewal fee to have been paid if the licensee can provide proof that the licensee's total annual income for the preceding calendar year was less than $50,000. Provides that renewal forms adopted by the Division shall include language informing licensees that the renewal fee shall be deemed paid if a licensee can prove that the licensee made less than $50,000 in total annual income in the preceding calendar year. Provides that a W-2 form, or similar tax document, stating that a licensee made less than $50,000 in total annual income in the preceding year shall be sufficient evidence that the licensee made less than $50,000 in total annual income in the preceding calendar year.

How does a bill become law in Illinois?
  1. Introduction of Bill

    A member of the Senate or the House introduces a bill, which is assigned a unique identifying number (e.g., "H.B. ___" for House bills and "S.B. ___" for Senate bills). If not enacted, it must be reintroduced in the next General Assembly with a new number.

  2. Committee Work — Hearings

    The bill goes to the appropriate committee, which holds hearings to gather expert opinions and determine the need for the legislation.

  3. Committee Work — Markup, Amendments, Report

    The committee may make amendments to the bill. If approved, a committee report endorsing the bill is issued.

  4. Floor Debate

    The bill is debated and can be further amended. The debate transcripts are accessible online for public viewing.

  5. Passage and Consideration in Second Chamber

    If the bill passes in the first chamber, it moves to the second chamber for a similar review process. If both chambers approve, it goes to the governor.

  6. Gubernatorial Action

    The governor can sign the bill into law, veto it, or take no action (resulting in an automatic law after 60 days). The type of veto can be total or amendatory. Once signed, the bill becomes a Public Act and is assigned a Public Act number.
