(210 ILCS 3/50)
Sec. 50.
Investigation of applicant or licensee; notice.
The Department
may on its own motion, and shall on the verified complaint in writing of any
person setting forth facts which if proven would constitute grounds for the
denial of an application for a license, refusal to renew a license, suspension
of a license, or revocation of a license, investigate the applicant or
licensee. The Department, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, may
deny an application for a licensee, revoke a license, or refuse to renew a
license under Section 45 of this Act. Before denying a license application,
refusing to renew a license, suspending a license, or revoking a license, the
Department shall notify the applicant or licensee in writing. The notice shall
specify the charges or reasons for the Department's contemplated action. If
the applicant or licensee desires a hearing on the Department's contemplated
action, he or she must request a hearing within 10 days after receiving the
notice. A failure to request a hearing within 10 days shall constitute a
waiver of the applicant's or licensee's right to a hearing.
