(210 ILCS 95/23) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 783)
Sec. 23.
Whenever the Department finds that an emergency exists which
requires immediate action to protect the public health or safety, it may,
without notice or hearing, issue an order reciting the existence of such an
emergency and then require that such action be taken as it may deem
necessary to meet the emergency including the closing of the campground or
recreational area or the suspension or revocation of the permit or license.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act such order shall be
effective immediately. The State's Attorney and Sheriff of the county in
which the recreational area or campground is located shall enforce the
closing order after receiving notice thereof. Any owner, operator or
licensee affected by such an order is entitled, upon request, to a hearing
as provided in Section 14 of this Act. When such conditions are abated, in
the opinion of the Department, the Department may authorize reopening the
recreational area or campground.
