Illinois requires 24 contact hours per 24-month pre-renewal period. First renewal is exempt. Good-cause waiver of the CE requirement is available for military service or documented extreme hardship. No fixed licensee record-retention period is stated; sponsors retain attendance records for at least 5 years.
