1 AN ACT to amend the Medical Practice Act by changing
2 Section 25.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Medical Practice Act of 1987 is amended
6 by changing Section 25 as follows:
7 (225 ILCS 60/25) (from Ch. 111, par. 4400-25)
8 Sec. 25. Summary suspension. The Director of the
9 Department may, upon receipt of a written communication from
10 the Secretary of Human Services, the Director of Public Aid,
11 or the Director of Public Health that continuation of
12 practice of a person licensed under this Act constitutes an
13 immediate danger to the public, and after consultation with
14 the Chief Medical Coordinator or Deputy Medical Coordinator,
15 immediately suspend the license of such person without a
16 hearing. In instances in which the Director immediately
17 suspends a license under this Section, a hearing upon such
18 person's license must be convened by the Disciplinary Board
19 within 15 days after such suspension and completed without
20 appreciable delay. Such hearing is to be held to determine
21 whether to recommend to the Director that the person's
22 license be revoked, suspended, placed on probationary status
23 or reinstated, or whether such person should be subject to
24 other disciplinary action. In the hearing, the written
25 communication and any other evidence submitted therewith may
26 be introduced as evidence against such person; provided
27 however, the person, or their counsel, shall have the
28 opportunity to discredit, impeach and submit evidence
29 rebutting such evidence.
