(210 ILCS 125/19) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1219)
Sec. 19.
The Director shall make findings of fact in such hearing, and the
Director shall render his decision within 30 days after the termination of
the hearing, unless additional time is required by him for a proper
disposition of the matter. When the hearing has been conducted by a Hearing
Officer, the Director shall review the findings of fact and recommendations
of the Hearing Officer, and the transcribed record if a party has requested
and paid for such record before rendering a decision. It shall be the duty
of the Director to forward a copy of his decision by registered or
certified mail, to the owner, operator, licensee or applicant within 5 days
of rendition of such decision. Technical errors in the proceeding before
the Director or Hearing Officer or their failure to observe the technical
rules of evidence shall not be grounds for the reversal of any
administrative decision unless it appears to the court that such error or
failure materially affects the rights of any party and results in
substantial injustice to him.
