(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2018)
Sec. 160. Findings of facts, conclusions of law, and recommendations. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board shall present to the Secretary a written report of its findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations. The report shall contain a finding whether or not the accused person violated this Act or failed to comply with the conditions required in this Act. The Board shall specify the nature of the violation or failure to comply and shall make its recommendations to the Secretary.
The report of findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations of the Board may be the basis of the order of the Department. If the Secretary disagrees in any regard with the report of the Board, the Secretary may issue an order in contravention of the report. The Secretary shall provide notice to the Board on any deviation and the reasons for the deviation. The finding is not admissible in evidence against the person in a criminal prosecution brought for the violation of this Act, but the hearing and findings are not a bar to a criminal prosecution brought for the violation of this Act.
