21 operations or interfere with orderly conduct thereof;
22 provided that the propriety of such ejection or exclusion
23 is subject to subsequent hearing by the Board.
24 (13) To require all licensees of gambling

17 peace officer a distinct badge that, on its face, (i) clearly
18 states that the badge is authorized by the Board and (ii)

2 and 15 and to investigate and report any violation by any
3 person who operates as a motor carrier of property as defined
4 in Section 18-100 of this Act and does not hold a valid
5 certificate or permit. Such investigators shall have and may
6 exercise throughout the State all of the powers of peace
7 officers.
8 No person may be retained in service as an investigator
9 under this Section after he has reached 60 years of age.

1 the Secretary to write such checks and make such withdrawals,
2 and provided further that the balance of moneys on deposit in
3 any such account shall not exceed $5,000 at any time, nor
4 shall any one check written on or single withdrawal made from
5 any such account exceed $5,000.
6 All fines or moneys collected or received by the
7 Department of Police under any State or federal forfeiture
8 statute; including, but not limited to moneys forfeited under
9 Section 12 of the Cannabis Control Act and moneys distributed
10 under Section 413 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,

15 employment of persons to obtain evidence, and for the payment
16 for any goods or services related to obtaining evidence. All
17 such restitution received by the Secretary shall be deposited
