(210 ILCS 135/7) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 1707)
Sec. 7.
(a) Except in emergency situations, no license may be denied
or revoked unless the applicant
or licensee is given written notice of the grounds for the Department's
action. The applicant or licensee may appeal the Department's proposed
action and shall do so within 15 days after receipt of the Department's written notice by
making written request to the Department for a hearing. Notice of the
time, place and nature of the hearing shall be given to the applicant or
licensee not less than 2 weeks prior to the date of the hearing. The
hearing shall proceed, and the notice shall be delivered, in accordance
with The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, as now or hereafter amended.
(b) If the applicant or licensee does not submit a request for a hearing
as provided for in this Section, or if after conducting the hearing the
Department determines that the license should not be issued or renewed or
that the license should be revoked or denied, the Department shall issue an
order to that effect. If the order is to revoke the license, it shall
specify that the order takes effect upon receipt by the licensee, and that
the agency shall not operate during the pendency of any proceeding for
judicial review of the Department's decision, except under court order.
(c) Final administrative decisions shall be subject to judicial review
exclusively as provided in the Administrative Review Law, as now or
hereafter amended, except that any petition for judicial review of
a Department action under this Act shall be filed within 15 days after
receipt of notice of the Department's final determination. The term
"administrative decision" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 3-101
of the Code of Civil Procedure.
