On June 26, 2012, Governor Pat Quinn signed the Military Family Licensing Act.  From the standpoint of DFPR’s licensees and applicants, this new law, which takes effect on January 1, 2013, has two major components.

First, it entitles members of the military who have served on active duty within the preceding two years and their spouses or civil union partners to receive an expedited temporary license so long as they are licensed in another state and meet other criteria, and second, it allows DFPR to count certain military training and experience towards the training and experience required to obtain a particular license.  Watch this page for additional information regarding the law’s implementation.
