Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)

Sec. 125. Investigation; notice; hearing.

The Department may investigate
the actions of any applicant or of any person or persons holding or claiming to
hold a license.  Before refusing to issue, refusing to renew, or taking any
disciplinary action under Section 110 regarding a license, the Department shall, at least 30 days
prior to the date set for the hearing, notify in writing the applicant for, or
holder of, a license of the nature of any charges and that a hearing will be
held on a date designated.  The Department shall direct the applicant or
licensee to file a written answer with the Department under oath within 20 days
after the service of the notice and inform the applicant or licensee that
failure to file an answer shall result in default being taken against the
applicant or licensee. At the time and place fixed in the notice, the Department shall proceed to hear the charges and the parties or their counsel shall be accorded ample opportunity to present any pertinent statements, testimony, evidence, and arguments.  The Department may continue the hearing from time to time. If the person, after receiving the notice, fails to file an answer, his or her license may, in the discretion of the Department, be revoked, suspended, or placed on probationary status or the Department may take whatever disciplinary action considered proper, including limiting the scope, nature, or extent of the person's practice under the Act. If the Board is not sitting at the time and place fixed in the notice or at the time and place to which the hearing shall have been continued, the Department may continue the hearing for a period not to exceed 30 days. The written notice in the subsequent proceeding may be served by U.S. mail or email to the licensee's address or email address of record.
