Section 429.120  Revocation of Certificate of Registration

a)         The Department may, after notice and a hearing, revoke the certificate of registration of any person who violates any of the provisions of the Law.  Before revocation of a certificate of registration the Department shall, within 90 days after non-compliance and at least 7 days prior to the date of the hearing, give the person so accused notice in writing of the charge against him or her, and on the date designated shall conduct a hearing upon this matter.  The lapse of the 90 day period shall not preclude the Department from conducting revocation proceedings at a later date if necessary.

b)         A person permitted by Section 429.115(c) to operate a cultivation center under a certificate of registration issued pursuant to the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act must cease selling medical cannabis if the certificate of registration is revoked unless and until the person obtains a certificate of registration issued pursuant to the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or obtains a separate certificate of registration under the Law.

c)         The Department has the power, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, to revoke a certificate of registration issued by the Department if the holder of the certificate of registration fails to file a return, or to pay the tax, fee, penalty, or interest shown in a filed return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, fee, penalty, or interest, as required by the Law or any other tax or fee Act administered by the Department.  [20 ILCS 2505/2505-380]
