Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(210 ILCS 125/16.1)
Sec. 16.1. Denial, suspension, or revocation of a license.

The Director, after notice and opportunity for a hearing to a party, may deny, suspend, or revoke a license or permit, or assess a civil penalty, in any case in which he or she finds that there has been a substantial failure to comply with the provisions of this Act or rules established under it.  Notice shall be provided by certified mail, return receipt requested, or served personally and by fixing a date, not less than 15 days from the date of such mailing or service, at which time the applicant or license holder shall be given an opportunity to serve a written request for hearing upon the Department.  The hearing shall be conducted by the Director or by an individual designated in writing by the Director as the Hearing Officer.  On the basis of any such hearing, or upon default of the applicant or license holder, the Director shall make a determination specifying his or her findings and conclusions.  A copy of the determinations shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or served personally upon the applicant or license holder.
