(730 ILCS 175/45-95)

Sec. 45-95. Operation without license. Whenever the Department is advised, or has reason to believe, that any person, group of persons, corporation, or other entity is operating a secure residential youth care facility without a license or permit, it shall make an investigation to ascertain the facts. If the Department is denied access, it shall request intervention by local, county, or State law enforcement agencies to seek an appropriate court order or warrant to examine the premises. A person or entity preventing the Department from carrying out its duties under this Section is guilty of a violation of this Act. If the Department finds that the secure residential youth care facility is being, or has, operated without a license or permit, it shall report the results of its investigation to the Attorney General and to the appropriate State's Attorney for prosecution.
