Explanation
IDFPR is an administrative agency with regulatory authority over Illinois real estate licensees. It can suspend or revoke licenses, issue fines, require additional education, impose probationary conditions, and issue cease and desist orders. However, IDFPR cannot imprison anyone—imprisonment for criminal violations (such as real estate fraud) requires prosecution through the criminal court system. IDFPR may refer cases to law enforcement for criminal prosecution.
