Senate Committee OKs medical licensing fee increase
SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois Senate committee approved a measure Wednesday that would allow the state to rehire staff that license and investigate doctors by more than doubling physicians' licensing fees.
The Senate Executive Committee voted 10-5 to raise the cost of three-year physicians' license fees to $700.
The measure comes after budget constraints forced the Department of Financial and Professional Regulations to lay off more than half of the staff in its medical unit.
