(210 ILCS 45/3-713) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4153-713)
Sec. 3-713.
(a) Final administrative decisions after hearing shall be
subject to judicial review exclusively as provided in the Administrative
Review Law, as now or hereafter amended, except that any petition for judicial
review of Department action under this Act shall be filed within 15 days
after receipt of notice of the final agency determination. The term "administrative
decision" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 3-101 of the Code of
Civil Procedure.
(b) The court may stay enforcement of the Department's final decision
or toll the continuing accrual of a penalty under Section 3-305 if a showing
is made that there is a substantial probability that the party seeking review
will prevail on the merits and will suffer irreparable harm if a stay is
not granted, and that the facility will meet the requirements of this Act
and the rules promulgated under this Act during such stay. Where
a stay is granted the court may impose such conditions on the granting of
the stay as may be necessary to safeguard the lives, health, rights, safety
and welfare of residents, and to assure compliance by the facility with
the requirements of this Act, including an order for transfer or discharge
of residents under Sections 3-401 through 3-423 or for appointment of a
receiver under Sections 3-501 through 3-517.
(c) Actions brought under this Act shall be set for trial
at the earliest possible date and shall take precedence on the court calendar
over all other cases except matters to which equal or superior precedence
is specifically granted by law.
