(210 ILCS 100/19) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 549.19)
Sec. 19.
Whenever the Department finds that an emergency exists which requires
immediate action to protect the public health, 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 youth camp or the suspension or
revocation of the 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 youth camp 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 this Act. When such conditions are abated, in the opinion of
the Department, the Department may authorize reopening the youth camp.
