21 operations or interfere with orderly conduct thereof;
22 provided that the propriety of such ejection or exclusion
23 is subject to subsequent hearing by the Board.
24 (13) To require all licensees of gambling

17 peace officer a distinct badge that, on its face, (i) clearly
18 states that the badge is authorized by the Board and (ii)

2 and 15 and to investigate and report any violation by any
3 person who operates as a motor carrier of property as defined
4 in Section 18-100 of this Act and does not hold a valid
5 certificate or permit. Such investigators shall have and may
6 exercise throughout the State all of the powers of peace
7 officers.
8 No person may be retained in service as an investigator
9 under this Section after he has reached 60 years of age.

34 except on the written signatures of 2 persons designated by
-63- LRB9112814MWcsC
1 the Secretary to write such checks and make such withdrawals,
2 and provided further that the balance of moneys on deposit in
3 any such account shall not exceed $5,000 at any time, nor
4 shall any one check written on or single withdrawal made from
5 any such account exceed $5,000.
6 All fines or moneys collected or received by the
7 Department of Police under any State or federal forfeiture
8 statute; including, but not limited to moneys forfeited under
9 Section 12 of the Cannabis Control Act and moneys distributed
10 under Section 413 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
