Bill Title: Amends the Department of Professional Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Defines "applicant", "email address of record", "license", and "licensee". Provides that the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation shall require all applicants and licensees to provide a valid address and email address, which shall serve as the address and email address of record, and to inform the Department of any change of address or email address through specified means. Provides that the Department shall provide notice of a suspension to the licensee by mailing a copy of the Department's order to the licensee's address of record or emailing a copy of the order to the licensee's email address of record (rather than mailing a copy of the order by certified and regular mail to the licensee's last known address as registered with the Department). Changes references of "registrant" to "licensee or applicant" and references of "certificate" to "license" throughout the Law. Provides that if a licensed health care worker has been convicted of a criminal battery against any patient in the course of patient care or treatment or is required to register as a sex offender and the health care worker has had his or her license revoked for a forcible felony conviction, the health care worker may not petition the Department to restore his or her license. Provides that an applicant or licensee may request to the Department that his or her permanent denial or revocation be classified as confidential. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
