Licences under the Design Firm
3,826 active licences are regulated by this board — 0.3% of the register, spread over 12 distinct licence categories.
16 of the 3,826 active licences under this board carry at least one disciplinary action in IDFPR's file — 0.4%.
This site publishes that count and no more. It never names who, and never says why: in Illinois a licence can be suspended for unpaid state taxes, child support arrears or a defaulted student loan, none of which says anything about how someone does their job. The detail is on IDFPR's own record and on an individual entry here, which has no address a search engine can reach. Why that line is drawn there.
