 1             (19)  Gross  overcharging  for professional services

 4        (b)  The  Department  may  refuse to issue or may suspend
 5    the license of any person who fails to  (i)  file  a  return,
 6    (ii)  pay  the  tax,  penalty,  or  interest shown in a filed
 7    return; or  (iii)  pay  any  final  assessment  of  the  tax,

10    of the tax Act are satisfied.
11        (c)  The determination by a circuit court that a licensee
12    is  subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission to
13    a mental health facility as provided in the Mental Health and
14    Developmental Disabilities  Code  operates  as  an  automatic
15    suspension.   The suspension may end only upon a finding by a
16    court that the licensee is no longer subject  to  involuntary
17    admission  or judicial admission, the issuance of an order so
18    finding and discharging the patient, and  the  recommendation
19    of  the Board to the Director that the licensee be allowed to
20    resume practice.
21        (d)  In enforcing this Section, the  Department,  upon  a
22    showing  of  a  possible  violation,  may  compel  any person
23    licensed to practice under this Act or who  has  applied  for
24    licensure  or certification pursuant to this Act to submit to
25    a mental or physical examination, or both, as required by and
26    at the expense of the Department.  The  examining  physicians
27    shall be those specifically designated by the Department. The
28    Department  may  order  the  examining  physician  to present
29    testimony concerning this mental or physical  examination  of
30    the  licensee  or applicant. No information shall be excluded
31    by reason of any common law or statutory  privilege  relating
32    to  communications  between the licensee or applicant and the
33    examining physician. The person to be examined may  have,  at
34    his  or  her  own  expense,  another  physician of his or her
 
SB1689 Enrolled            -13-                LRB9215592ACcd
 1    choice present during all aspects of the examination. Failure
 2    of any person to submit to a mental or physical  examination,
 3    when  directed,  shall be grounds for suspension of a license
 4    until the person submits to the examination if the Department
 5    finds, after notice and hearing, that the refusal  to  submit
 6    to the examination was without reasonable cause.
 7        If  the Department finds an individual unable to practice
 8    because of  the  reasons  set  forth  in  this  Section,  the
 9    Department  may  require  that  individual to submit to care,
10    counseling, or treatment by physicians approved or designated
11    by the Department, as a condition, term, or  restriction  for
12    continued,  reinstated,  or renewed licensure to practice or,
13    in lieu of care, counseling, or treatment, the Department may
14    file a complaint to immediately suspend, revoke, or otherwise
15    discipline the license of the individual.
16        Any  person  whose  license   was   granted,   continued,
17    reinstated,  renewed,  disciplined,  or supervised subject to
18    such terms, conditions, or  restrictions  and  who  fails  to
19    comply  with such terms, conditions, or restrictions shall be
20    referred to the Director for a determination  as  to  whether
21    the   person   shall   have  his  or  her  license  suspended
22    immediately, pending a hearing by the Department.
23        In instances in which the Director immediately suspends a
24    person's license  under  this  Section,  a  hearing  on  that
25    person's license must be convened by the Department within 15
26    days  after  the suspension and completed without appreciable
27    delay. The Department shall have the authority to review  the
28    subject person's record of treatment and counseling regarding
29    the impairment, to the extent permitted by applicable federal
30    statutes  and regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of
31    medical records.
32        A person licensed under this Act and affected under  this
33    Section  shall  be  afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to
34    the  Department  that  he  or  she  can  resume  practice  in
 
SB1689 Enrolled            -14-                LRB9215592ACcd
 1    compliance with acceptable and prevailing standards under the
 2    provisions of his or her license.

27    to exceed $5,000  for  each  offense  as  determined  by  the
28    Department.  The  civil  penalty  shall  be  assessed  by the
29    Department after a hearing is held  in  accordance  with  the
30    provisions set forth in this Act regarding the provision of a
31    hearing for the discipline of a licensee.
