(225 ILCS 60/25) (from Ch. 111, par. 4400-25)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 25. The Secretary of the Department may, upon receipt of a written
communication from the Secretary of Human Services, the Director of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Director of
Public Aid), or the Director of Public Health
that continuation of practice of a person licensed under
this Act constitutes an immediate danger to the public, and
after consultation with the Chief Medical Coordinator or
Deputy Medical Coordinator, immediately suspend the license
of such person without a hearing. In instances in which the
Secretary immediately suspends a license under this Section,
a hearing upon such person's license must be convened by the Medical
Board within 15 days after such suspension and
completed without appreciable delay. Such hearing is to be
held to determine whether to recommend to the Secretary that
the person's license be revoked, suspended, placed on
probationary status or reinstated, or whether such person
should be subject to other disciplinary action. In the
hearing, the written communication and any other evidence
submitted therewith may be introduced as evidence against
such person; provided however, the person, or their
counsel, shall have the opportunity to discredit, impeach
and submit evidence rebutting such evidence.
