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.
225 ILCS 745/90 (225 ILCS 745/90) (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026) Sec. 90. Investigations; notice and hearing. The Department may
investigate the actions of any applicant or of any person or persons rendering
or offering to render geological services or any person holding or
claiming to hold a license as a Licensed Professional Geologist. The
Department shall, before revoking, suspending, placing on probation,
reprimanding, or taking any other disciplinary action under Section 80 of this
Act, at least 30 days before the date set for the hearing, (i) notify the
accused in writing of the charges made and the time and place for the hearing
on the charges, (ii) direct him or her to file a written answer to the charges
with the Board under oath within 20 days after the service on him or her of the
notice, and (iii) notify the accused that, if he or she fails to answer,
default will be taken against him or her, and that his or her license may be
suspended, revoked, placed on probationary status, or other disciplinary action
taken with regard to the license, including limiting the scope, nature, or
extent
of his or her practice, as the Department may consider proper. At the time and
place fixed in the notice, the Board 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 Board may
continue the hearing from time to time. In case the person, after receiving
the notice, fails to file an answer, his or her license may, in the discretion
of the Department, be suspended, revoked, placed on probationary status, or subject to any other disciplinary action the
Department considers proper, including
limiting the scope, nature, or extent of the person's practice or the
imposition
of a fine, without a hearing, if the act or acts charged constitute sufficient
grounds for that action under this Act. The written notice may be served by
personal delivery or by certified mail to the licensee's address of record.(Source: P.A. 99-26, eff. 7-10-15.) |
