Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

205 ILCS 635/6-2

    (205 ILCS 635/6-2) (from Ch. 17, par. 2326-2)
    Sec. 6-2. Removal and prohibition.
    (a) Upon making any one or more of the following findings, the Commissioner may issue a notice of intent to issue an order of removal or prohibition, or an order of removal and prohibition, which order may remove a named person, persons, or entity or entities from participating in the affairs of one or more licensees and may be permanent or for a specific shorter period of time. The findings required under this Section may be any one or more of the following:
        (1) A finding that the party or entity subject to the
    
order has been convicted of a crime involving material financial loss to a licensee, a federally insured depository institution, a government sponsored enterprise, a Federal Home Loan Bank, a Federal Reserve Bank, or any other person.
        (2) A finding that the person or entity subject to
    
the order has submitted or caused to be submitted any document that contains multiple willful and material misstatements of facts, and that includes the signature of the person or entity specified in the Commissioner's order, or that is notarized, certified, verified or is in any other way attested to, as to its veracity. An application for licensure or license renewal may be considered such a document.
        (3) Conviction of a business offense under subsection
    
(e) of Section 1-3 or subsection (g) of Section 3-2.
        (4) A finding prepared by a hearing officer pursuant
    
to a hearing held under Section 4-1(n) of this Act that the person subject to the order, while an employee of a licensee, has knowingly submitted or caused to be submitted any document that contains willful and material misstatement of facts and which is used in connection with any licensable activity as defined in Section 1-3(a) of this Act.
    (b) Whenever, in the opinion of the Commissioner, any director, officer, or employee of a licensee shall have violated any law, rule, or order relating to that licensee or shall have obstructed or impeded any examination or investigation by the Commissioner, shall have engaged in an unsafe, unsound, or unlawful practice in conducting the business of the licensee, or shall have violated any law or engaged or participated in any unsafe, unsound or unlawful practice in connection with any licensee or other business entity such that the character and fitness of the director, officer, or employee does not assure reasonable promise of safe, sound, and lawful operation of the licensee, the Commissioner may issue an order of removal. If, in the opinion of the Commissioner, any former director, officer, or employee of a licensee, prior to the termination of his or her service with that licensee, violated any law, rule, or order relating to that licensee, obstructed or impeded any examination or investigation by the Commissioner, engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting the business of that licensee or any subsidiary or holding company of the licensee, or violated any law or engaged or participated in any unsafe, unsound, or unlawful practice in connection with any financial institution or other business entity such that the character and fitness of the director, officer, or employee would not have assured reasonable promise of safe, sound, and lawful operation of the licensee, the Commissioner may issue an order prohibiting that person from further service with a licensee as a director, officer, or employee. An order issued pursuant to this subsection shall be served upon the director, officer, or employee. A copy of the order shall be sent to each owner or director of the licensee affected by registered mail. The person affected by the action may make a request to the Commissioner for a hearing pursuant to Section 4-1(n) within 10 days after receipt of the order. The hearing shall be held before a hearing officer within 30 days after the request has been received by the Commissioner. The hearing officer shall prepare a finding and report the same to the Commissioner who shall consider the finding in making his determination approving, modifying, or disapproving his order as a final administrative decision. If a hearing is held before a hearing officer, the Commissioner shall make his determination within 60 days from the conclusion of the hearing. Any person affected by a decision of the Commissioner under this subsection (b) may have the decision reviewed only under and in accordance with the Administrative Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant thereto. A copy of the order shall also be served upon the licensee of which he is a director, officer, or employee, whereupon he shall cease to be a director, officer, or employee of that licensee. The Commissioner may institute a civil action against the director, officer, or employee of the licensee to enforce compliance with or to enjoin any violation of the terms of the order. Any person who has been the subject of an order of removal or an order of prohibition issued by the Commissioner under this subsection may not thereafter serve as director, officer, or employee of any licensee, or of any other entity that is subject to licensure or regulation by the Commissioner unless the Commissioner has granted prior approval in writing.
