Sec. 3.33. The Department may either refuse to issue or refuse to renew or may
suspend or may revoke any game breeding and hunting preserve area license
or hound running area permit if the Department finds that such licensed area or the operator thereof is
not complying or does not comply with the provisions of Section 3.35 of
this Act, or that such property, or area is operated in violation of other
provisions of this Act, or in an unlawful or illegal manner; however, the
Department shall not refuse to issue, refuse to renew nor suspend or revoke
any license for any of these causes, unless the licensee affected has been
given at least 15 days notice, in writing, of the reasons for the action of
the Department and an opportunity to appear before the Department or a
representative thereof in opposition to the action of the Department. Upon
the hearing of any such proceeding, the person designated by the Department
to conduct the hearing may administer oaths and the Department may procure,
by its subpoena, the attendance of witnesses and the production of relevant
books and papers. The Circuit Court upon application either of the licensee
affected, or of the Department, may, on order duly entered, require the
attendance of witnesses and the production of relevant books and papers
before the Department or its representative in any such hearing. Upon
refusal or neglect to obey its order, the Court may compel obedience by
proceedings for contempt of court.
