Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

215 ILCS 5/470

(215 ILCS 5/470) (from Ch. 73, par. 1065.17)

Sec. 470.

Penalties.

Any person, company or organization violating any provision of this
Article shall be guilty of a petty offense for each such violation,
provided that a series of acts or events based upon the same alleged
violation shall be treated and considered as a single violation.

The Director may suspend the license of any rating organization or
company which fails to comply with an order of the Director within the time
limited by such order, or any extension thereof which the Director may
grant. The Director shall not suspend the license of any rating
organization or company for failure to comply with an order until the time
prescribed for filing a petition for review thereof as provided in Section
471 has expired or if such petition for review has been filed until such
order has been affirmed. The Director may determine when a suspension of
license shall become effective and it shall remain in effect for the period
fixed by him, unless he modifies or rescinds such suspension, or until the
order upon which such suspension is based is modified, rescinded or
reversed.

No license shall be suspended or revoked except upon a written order of
the Director, stating his findings, made after a hearing held upon not less
than ten days' written notice to such person or organization specifying the
alleged violation.
