Sec. 65. Revocation, suspension, or refusal to renew license.

(a) The Department, after notice to the applicant or licensee, may suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a license in any case in which the Department finds any of the following:

(1) that there has been a substantial failure to comply with this Act or the rules promulgated by the Department under this Act;

(2) that there has been a conviction of the licensee, or of the person designated to manage or supervise the establishment, of a felony or of 2 or more misdemeanors involving moral turpitude during the previous 5 years as shown by a certified copy of the record of the court of conviction;

(3) that the personnel is insufficient in number or unqualified by training or experience to properly care for the number and type of residents served by the establishment;

(4) that the financial or other resources are insufficient to conduct and operate the establishment in accordance with standards promulgated by the Department under this Act; or

(5) that the establishment is not under the direct supervision of a full-time director, as defined by rule.

(b) Notice under this Section shall include a clear and concise statement of the violations on which the nonrenewal or revocation is based, the statute or rule violated, and notice of the opportunity for a hearing under Section 60.

(c) If an establishment desires to contest the nonrenewal or revocation of a license, the establishment shall, within 10 days after receipt of notice under subsection (b) of this Section, notify the Department in writing of its request for a hearing under Section 60. Upon receipt of the request the Department shall send notice to the establishment and hold a hearing as provided under Section 60.

(d) The effective date of nonrenewal or revocation of a license by the Department shall be any of the following:

(1) until otherwise ordered by the circuit court, revocation is effective on the date set by the Department in the notice of revocation, or upon final action after hearing under Section 60, whichever is later;

(2) until otherwise ordered by the circuit court, nonrenewal is effective on the date of expiration of any existing license, or upon final action after hearing under Section 60, whichever is later; however, a license shall not be deemed to have expired if the Department fails to timely respond to a timely request for renewal under this Act or for a hearing to contest nonrenewal; or

(3) the Department may extend the effective date of license revocation or expiration in any case in order to permit orderly removal and relocation of residents.

(e) The Department may refuse to issue or may suspend the license of any person who fails to file a return, or to pay the tax, penalty or interest shown in a filed return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty or interest, as required by any tax Act administered by the Illinois Department of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of any such tax Act are satisfied.
