Beginning in 2020, a new law from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation went into effect. It requires mandatory sexual harassment training as part of the current number of continuing education requirements for licensure renewal under the Civil Administrative Code. This requirement does not add to the CE hours, but can be considered one of the MCE hours.

​

Also, all Illinois employers must provide annual sexual harassment prevention training to their employees. This requirement applies to all employers with employees working in this state. They must either develop their own training program that equals or exceeds the minimum standards as outlined in Section 2-109(8) of the Illinois Human Rights Act CIHRA), or they may use the model training provided by the IDHR.
