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.

225 ILCS 85/33

(225 ILCS 85/33) (from Ch. 111, par. 4153)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)

Sec. 33.

The Secretary may, upon receipt of a
written communication from the Secretary of Human Services, the Director of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Director of
Public Aid), 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 of such
person without a hearing.  In instances in which the Secretary immediately
suspends a license under this Act, a hearing
upon such person's license must be convened by the Board within 15 days
after such suspension and completed without appreciable delay, such
hearing held to determine whether to recommend to the Secretary that
the person's license be revoked, suspended, placed on probationary
status or restored, or such person be subject to other disciplinary
action.  In such hearing, the written communication and any other evidence
submitted therewith may be introduced as evidence against such person;
provided however, the person, or his counsel, shall have the opportunity
to discredit or impeach such evidence and submit evidence rebutting
same.
