February 2026 Enforcement Report

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation issued its February 2026 enforcement report detailing disciplinary actions against licensed professionals across behavioral analysis, cosmetology, dentistry, and private security sectors. The majority of professional licenses and permanent employee registration cards were suspended indefinitely or placed on probation primarily due to failure to file or pay Illinois state income taxes, with additional sanctions imposed for unreported criminal convictions, child support delinquency, and unprofessional conduct. Specific measures include the immediate suspension of a behavior analyst for striking a minor, the permanent surrender of a dentist’s license for practicing while suspended, and probationary restrictions or refusal to renew for numerous security personnel following felony convictions involving weapons or controlled substances.
