19 recommend to the Department to file a complaint to
20 immediately suspend, revoke or otherwise discipline the
21 license of the person. Any person whose license was granted,
22 continued, reinstated, renewed, disciplined or supervised
23 subject to such terms, conditions or restrictions, and who
24 fails to comply with such terms, conditions or restrictions,
25 shall be referred to the Director for a determination as to
26 whether the person shall have his or her license suspended
27 immediately, pending a hearing by the Board.
28 In instances in which the Director immediately suspends a
29 person's license under this Section, a hearing on that
30 person's license must be convened by the Board within 15 days
31 after the suspension and completed without appreciable delay.
32 The Board shall have the authority to review the subject
33 person's record of treatment and counseling regarding the
34 impairment, to the extent permitted by applicable federal
-11- LRB9105082ACtm
1 statutes and regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of
2 medical records.
