Illinois Governor has signed SB4023 into law, amending the Department of Professional Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. The new law requires applicants for healthcare professional licensure and renewals to provide comprehensive practice information including areas of specialty, all current practice location addresses, hours at each location on direct outpatient care, NPI numbers, and anticipated retirement dates. The Department of Financial and Professional Regulation must share this data with the Department of Public Health, while maintaining Freedom of Information Act exemptions.
