(225 ILCS 120/70) (from Ch. 111, par. 8301-70)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 70. Immediate suspension of license or registration; hearing.
The Secretary may, upon receipt of a written communication
from the Secretary of Human Services or the Director of Public Health that
continuation of practice
of a person licensed or registered under this Act constitutes an immediate
danger to the public, immediately suspend the license or registration of
that person without a hearing. In instances in which the Secretary
immediately suspends a license or registration under this Section, a hearing
upon the person's license must be convened by the Board within 15 days
after the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The hearing
shall 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 that the person be subject to other disciplinary action. In
the hearing, the written communication and any other evidence submitted
with the communication may be introduced as evidence
against the person. The person or his or her counsel shall
have the opportunity to discredit or impeach such evidence and submit
rebuttal evidence.
