(225 ILCS 655/9) (from Ch. 111, par. 510)
Sec. 9.
Investigation and hearing.
The Department may, upon its own
motion, and
shall, upon the
complaint in writing of any person setting forth facts which if proved
would constitute grounds under Section 7, investigate the actions of any
applicant,
registrant or any person claiming to be registered under this Act. At least
10 days prior to the date set for hearing the Department shall, before
refusing to issue or renew or before revocation
of a
registration, notify in writing the applicant for or holder of a
registration, hereinafter called the respondent, that on the date
designated a hearing will be held to determine whether the respondent is
privileged to be registered, and shall afford the respondent an opportunity
to be heard in person or by counsel. Such written notice shall be served
personally on the respondent, or by registered or certified mail sent to
the respondent's business address as shown in his latest notification to
the Department. The Director shall, after a hearing, issue an order either
issuing, renewing, refusing to issue or renew, reinstating, or revoking the
license.
The Department, over the signature of the Director, is authorized to
subpoena and bring before the Department any person or persons in this
State and to take testimony either orally or by deposition or by exhibit,
with the same fees and mileage and in the same manner as prescribed by law
in judicial proceedings in civil cases in circuit courts
of this State. The Director may issue subpoenas duces tecum to command the
production of any or all records relating to the person.
