A new Illinois law will help health care workers with a criminal record.
It creates a pathway for nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and others to acquire their professional license, even if they have a past conviction. Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation spokesman Terry Horstman says applicants will undergo a thorough review.
"Health care workers who qualify for review under the law will have the opportunity to present information proving they've been rehabilitated from their conviction."
