New CEU requirements for licensed architect renewals in Illinois

Please review the important announcement below from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) regarding professional license renewals including architecture:

New Sexual Harassment Prevention Training Continuing Education (CE)  requirement to renew licenses issued by DPR beginning January 1, 2020

A new law passed earlier this year requires sexual harassment prevention training for all persons who hold a professional license issued by the Division of Professional Regulation (DPR) for professions that require CE to renew.  The law requires licensees to complete a one-hour CE course in sexual harassment prevention training and is effective for all renewals on or after January 1, 2020.  This CE requirement is included in the number of hours already required under the individual Acts and Rules and does not increase the number of hours required to renew a license.
