Bill > SB2099

This bill amends the Illinois Athletic Trainers Practice Act by introducing two key provisions. First, it requires the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to send a notice to athletic trainers at least 30 days before their license expires, warning them that failure to place their license into inactive status will result in required restoration fees. Second, the bill creates a new provision that allows athletic trainers whose licenses have expired for up to 5 years to have restoration fees waived if they were practicing in another jurisdiction during the period of expiration and can provide an affidavit confirming this. The bill aims to provide more flexibility for athletic trainers who maintain their professional credentials in other locations and to ensure they are informed about potential license expiration. This change will help prevent unintentional license lapses and reduce financial barriers to maintaining professional licensure for athletic trainers who may have temporarily worked outside of Illinois.
