Bill Summary · HB 1417

Legislative bill overview

HB 1417 addresses licensing fees under the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (DFPR) in Illinois. The bill has undergone committee amendments but specific fee adjustments or modifications are not detailed in the available legislative action record.

Why is this important

DFPR licensing fees affect thousands of professionals in Illinois—including nurses, doctors, attorneys, accountants, and other regulated professionals. Fee changes directly impact practitioners' operational costs and can influence whether individuals enter or remain in regulated professions.

Potential points of contention

  • Fee increase burden: If fees are being raised, practitioners may argue this creates financial hardship and reduces competitiveness, particularly for solo practitioners and small firms
  • Adequacy of services: Questions about whether fee levels align with the quality and timeliness of DFPR services and whether increases are justified
  • Transparency and notice: Whether professionals received adequate notice and opportunity to comment on proposed fee changes before implementation
