AI Summary
This bill amends the Department of Professional Regulation Law in Illinois to add a new provision that allows instructors who teach continuing education courses to receive course credit in the same way students do. Continuing education courses are typically mandatory training or learning sessions that professionals must complete to maintain their professional licenses in various fields. The bill specifically enables instructors who teach or train in these required courses to count the credits they earn towards meeting their own mandatory continuing education requirements. This change provides a benefit to instructors by recognizing their teaching time as equivalent to learning time for professional development purposes. Additionally, the bill grants the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation the authority to create rules for implementing this new provision, which gives the department flexibility in how the credit-earning process will be administered.
