(225 ILCS 110/18) (from Ch. 111, par. 7918)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 18. Temporary suspension of license. The Secretary may temporarily suspend the license of a
speech-language pathologist, speech-language pathology assistant, or
audiologist without a hearing, simultaneous
to the institution of proceedings for a hearing under this Act, if the Secretary finds that evidence in his or her possession indicates that a
speech-language pathologist's, speech-language pathology assistant's, or
an audiologist's continuation in practice would
constitute an immediate danger to the public. In the event that the Secretary temporarily suspends the license of a speech-language pathologist,
speech-language pathology assistant, or audiologist without a hearing, a
hearing by the Board must be
held within 15 days after such suspension has occurred and concluded without
appreciable delay.
