|
| 7 | | Sec. 3-309.
A facility may contest an assessment of a |
| 8 | | penalty by sending
a written request to the Department for |
| 9 | | hearing under Section 3-703. Upon
receipt of the request the |
| 10 | | Department shall hold a hearing as provided under
Section |
| 11 | | 3-703. Instead of requesting a hearing pursuant to Section |
| 12 | | 3-703, a facility may, within 10 business days after receipt of |
| 13 | | the notice of violation and fine assessment, transmit to the |
| 14 | | Department (i) 65% of the amount assessed for each violation |
| 15 | | specified in the penalty assessment or (ii) in the case of a |
| 16 | | fine subject to offset under paragraph (10) of Section 3-305, |
| 17 | | up to 75% of the amount assessed.
