(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.
