(225 ILCS 60/44) (from Ch. 111, par. 4400-44)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 44.
None of the disciplinary functions, powers
and duties enumerated in this Act shall be exercised by the
Department except upon the action and report in writing of
the Medical Board.
In all instances, under this Act, in which the Medical
Board has rendered a recommendation to the
Secretary with respect to a particular physician, the
Secretary may take action contrary to the recommendation of the Medical Board. In the event that the Secretary disagrees with
or takes action contrary to the recommendation of the Medical
Board, file with the Medical Board his or her specific written reasons of
disagreement with the Medical Board. Such reasons
shall be filed within 30 days of the occurrence of the
Secretary's contrary position having been taken.
The action and report in writing of a majority of the Medical
Board designated is sufficient authority upon
which the Secretary may act.
Whenever the Secretary is satisfied that substantial
justice has not been done in a
formal disciplinary action, or refusal to restore a license,
he or she may order a rehearing.
