(225 ILCS 50/23) (from Ch. 111, par. 7423)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026)

Sec. 23. The Department, at its expense, shall preserve a record of all proceedings at the formal hearing of any case involving the refusal to issue a license or to discipline a licensee. The notice of hearing, the complaint and all other documents in the nature of pleadings and written motions filed in the proceedings, the transcript of testimony, the report of the Board and the orders of the Department shall be the record of such proceeding.

In any case involving the refusal to issue a license or to discipline a licensee, a copy of the Board's report shall be served upon the respondent by the Department, as provided in this Act for the service of the notice of hearing. Within 20 days after such service, the respondent may present to the Department a motion in writing for a rehearing, which motion shall specify the particular grounds therefor. If no motion for rehearing is filed, then upon the expiration of the time specified for filing such a motion, or if a motion for rehearing is denied, then upon such denial, the Director may enter an order in accordance with recommendations of the Board. If the respondent orders and pays for a transcript of the record within the time for filing a motion for rehearing, the 20-day period within which such a motion may be filed shall commence upon the delivery of the transcript to the respondent.

Whenever the Director is satisfied that substantial justice has not been done either in an examination or in the revocation, suspension or refusal to issue a license, the Director may order a re-examination or rehearing.
