Sec. 15-15. Notice of proposed disciplinary action; hearing.
(a) Before taking any disciplinary action with regard to any registrant, the Department shall:
(1) notify the respondent in writing, at least 30
calendar days prior to the date set for the hearing, of any charges made, the time and place for the hearing of the charges, and that testimony at the hearing will be heard under oath; and
(2) inform the respondent that upon failure to file
an answer and request a hearing before the date originally set for the hearing, default will be taken against the respondent and the respondent's registration may be suspended or revoked, or the respondent may be otherwise disciplined, as the Department may deem proper.
(b) If the respondent fails to file an answer after receiving notice, the respondent's registration may, in the discretion of the Department, be revoked or suspended, or the respondent may be otherwise disciplined as deemed proper, without a hearing, if the act or acts charged constitute sufficient grounds for that action under this Act.
(c) At the time and place fixed in the notice, the Department shall proceed to hearing of the charges. Both the respondent and the complainant shall be accorded ample opportunity to present in person, or by counsel, statements, testimony, evidence, and argument that may be pertinent to the charges or any defense to the charges.
