the license; the applicant shall pay the fee to the
Department of State Police or to the fingerprint vendor for

occupational or professional license shall be issued to an
applicant if the statewide or national criminal history

an application for licensure under any applicable
occupational or professional licensing Act;
(5) the applicant is not ineligible for licensure
pursuant to Section 2105-165 of the Civil Administrative
Code of Illinois;
(6) the applicant has submitted an application for full

required under any applicable occupational or professional
licensing Act. All relevant training provided by the military

Act, provided that the training or education is determined by

rule provide for fees for the administration of this Section.
(f) If the director of a department denies licensure to a
service member or the spouse of a service member, the
department must provide evidence that his or her licensure
would endanger legitimate public health, safety, and welfare
objectives. The department must also provide a specifically
tailored and demonstrably necessary course of action for the
service member or spouse of a service member to take to meet
the requirements for licensure in Illinois. Those requirements
shall be restricted to requirements that are not covered by the
applicant's out-of-state license and could not have been gained
by the applicant's work experience.
