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.

|
The Department may revoke, without notice or a hearing, the license of
any agent who violates this Act or any rule or regulation promulgated
pursuant to this Act. However, if the Department does revoke a license
without notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the Department shall, by
appropriate notice, afford the person whose license has been revoked an
opportunity for a hearing within 30 days after the revocation order has
been issued. As a result of any such hearing, the Department may confirm
its action in revoking the license, or it may order the restoration of such
license.
