Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 2145

Amends the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois (Department of Professional Regulation Law). Provides that the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation shall refuse the issuance or renewal of a license to, or suspend or revoke the license of, any individual, corporation, partnership, or other business entity that has been found by the Workers' Compensation Commission or the Department of Insurance to have failed to secure workers' compensation obligations in the manner required by the Workers' Compensation Act, to pay in full a fine or penalty imposed due to a failure to secure workers' compensation obligations in the manner required by the Workers' Compensation Act, or to fulfill all obligations assumed pursuant to a settlement reached with the Workers' Compensation Commission or the Department of Insurance relating to a failure to secure workers' compensation obligations in the manner required by the Workers' Compensation Act. Provides no initial or renewal license shall be issued, and no suspended license shall be reinstated, until the Department is notified by the Workers' Compensation Commission or the Department of Insurance that the licensee's or applicant's failure to comply with the Workers' Compensation Act has been corrected or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of the Workers' Compensation Commission or the Department of Insurance. Provides that an application to make disciplinary records confidential shall also be considered by the Department for an offense or action relating to: failure to comply with workers' compensation requirements or reprimand of a licensee. Makes corresponding changes to the Asbestos Abatement Act, the Lead Poisoning Prevention Act, and the Illinois Plumbing License Law. Effective January 1, 2024.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill but with the following changes: Further amends the Department of Professional Regulation Law, the Asbestos Abatement Act, the Lead Poisoning Prevention Act, and the Illinois Plumbing License Law by adding cross-references to those provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act that concern an employer's obligation to annually file with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission an application for approval as a self-insurer and a current financial statement. In various provisions concerning licensing, provides that no license shall be suspended or revoked until after the licensee is afforded any due process protection guaranteed by statute or rule adopted by the Workers' Compensation Commission or the Department of Insurance. Effective January 1, 2024.
